Join us on Saturday, July 11, at 2:00 pm, for the 2nd Annual CHA Kayak Poker Rally. A poker rally is not a race! Kayakers will collect playing cards at shore stations along the way between Clubhouse Park and South Park. The kayaker that assembles the best poker hand wins. Here are details:
- All members and guests are invited to participate in non-motorized watercraft
- Paddlers should be in the water at 2:00 pm. Remember that PFDs are mandatory
- You can start anywhere on the shoreline and can paddle south to South Park or north from South Park to Clubhouse Park. You will need to finish at Clubhouse Park for your final card (and hamburgers and hot dogs!)
- Paddlers can start from one of the parks or along the shoreline for waterfront owners
- One kayaker from both Clubhouse Park and South Park will be asked to hang back and act as sweep to aid anyone in distress
- There will be 4 shore stations between South and Clubhouse parks where each kayaker will be given a playing card from each station. The 5th station will be at the clubhouse to give each kayaker a 5th card. The paddle ends at the clubhouse
- A prize will be awarded for the best and worst poker hands
- There will be a hot dog picnic with hot dogs, burgers and soft drinks provided by CHA at the clubhouse park after the paddle and all kayakers and families are invited to attend this event. BYOB
Volunteers are needed to man the shore stations handing out cards, and to cook hot dogs and hamburgers at the Clubhouse.
Come and join your fellow CHA members and guests for this fun event! We’re looking to best the number of 21 kayakers in the water from last year!
