    Boats will be roaring into Northern Michigan harbors this weekend, as Boyne Thunder Poker Run returns for its 16th year. The poker run will feature 120 different boats from around the country July 12-13 in an event that has come a long ways during the course of its existence.

    “This is the 16th year that we’ve run this,” said Ingrid Day, Boyne City Main Street assistant. “Each year is a little bit bigger, a little bit different.”

    The event kicks off Friday in Boyne City during Stroll the Streets. The presence of Boyne Thunder will add to the regular music and other downtown festivities.

    “With this event there’s a little something for everyone because we have Friday night when we block off the main downtown streets and we have a big boat show and local partners set up docks and you can go look in the boats,” Day said. “We also have cars on display, along with music. It’s really a fun downtown evening.”

    The run begins at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, July 13, with a series of parade laps around the Boyne City F. Grant Moore Municipal Marina before the boats take off for the day stopping at stops in Elk Rapids, Northport, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, Bay Harbor and Horton Bay.

    “The boats go to five different stops to pick up cards,” Day said. “Saturday the person with the highest and the person with the lowest hand gets a prize.”

    While Boyne Thunder features some of the finest boats in the nation, a luxury not everyone can afford, people always flock to Northern Michigan harbors to watch the show.

    “Even if you’re not on a boat or part of that, you can come to the shoreline and see the beauty of these boats,” Day said.

    In addition to the poker run, the weekend offers other activities including boat rides for Camp Quality kids, breakfasts, dinners and more.

    Boyne Thunder is a charity event that will support both the Boyne City community and a couple of outside causes. The event eclipsed $1 million in cumulative donations last year.

    “The money is for Camp Quality and Challenge Mountain that both, in their own unique way, help children,” Day said. “And a portion of it is for Boyne City Main Street, we are the sponsoring group for this.”

    More information about specific events, best times and places for spectating and more can be found online on the Boyne Thunder Poker Run website at www.boynethunder.com.
