Boyne Thunder Poker run returns July 11 and 12

Speed, excitement and smiles return to Northern Michigan for the 11th annual Boyne Thunder Poker Run on July 11 and 12, in beautiful Boyne City.

This unique boating event showcases high performance boats slicing through the waters of Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan on a 150-mile excursion.

In addition to a great event in a beautiful area, what has made Boyne Thunder special is that it donates a significant portion of its proceeds to two local non-profits: Camp Quality, an organization that provides special experiences and support for children with cancer; and Challenge Mountain, an organization dedicated to enriching and improving lives for the mentally and physically challenged through outdoor recreation.
Since it began, Boyne Thunder has raised more than $265,000 for Camp Quality.

EVENTS
Champagne Cruise—The best seats in the house to watch the Boyne Thunder Poker Run Saturday, July 12, on Lake Charlevoix. Come aboard one of the yachts, generously donated for the day by area boat owners.
Once aboard, you will be served beverages and hors d’oeurves while you cruise about Lake Charlevoix, viewing all of the action from your vantage on the water. Your yacht will join up with all of the other Champagne boats for a “raft off.”
The party continues with boat-hopping visits between guests of all the participating boats.
It’s your own chance to see these racers up close and personal, as the Poker Run boats come right past for their final card stop!
All of this for just a $100 donation/per person to Camp Quality Michigan. 100 percent of the proceeds help provide year-round activities for kids with cancer, ages 4-18.

Where were you Paul, I never did find you all weekend.

[Ratickle]

I know, every time I went anywhere I always asked, "You seen Mathers?", no body had or you had just left. I was telling Wrink and Connie at lunch Sunday I still hadn't met you face to face. We did see you in your boat at the start.

[Blue Oval]

I started cleaning cars at 7am on Friday, landed at home at 10 just after stereo wars, then was at the gas station by 7am to get the boat in Sat. morning, pulled out by about 10:30pm after Marshall Boat party. Got up and helped Riggs get his truck going, then slept all afternoon. Great time!! Big Ford party starting Thursday in TC. I need to get some energy stored up!!
