[Coach]

Check out Gary Nichols request:

We at the Gulf Coast Powerboat Ass. the founders of ' The Thunder on the Gulf " offshore boat race are excited to help participate in " The Pleasure Island Poker Run " to be held on June 25th -28th in Orange Beach,Al. This event will kick off a fundraising drive to help raise money to insure Orange Beach has a boat racing future. This poker run is being produced by "The Mystical Order of Miriams " mardi gras Ass. and promises to be a awesome event that will end up rivaling the Emerald Coast Poker Run in Destin, Fla.The event will be based at the Wharf which was home for the race village at our boat races.We could use the support of race teams ,boat manufacturers and especially poker run enthusiasts to bring there show and set up at our race village located on the water next door to Live Bait at the Wharf.It would be a great stop for race teams and fans on there way to Sarasota for the S.B.I. race and arrangements can be made to leave equipment here prior to there race.This will be a action packed party filled weekend and an oppertune time to enjoy the hospitality and beautiful waters of Orange Beach.
