Event description

At 2:00 pm paddlers start arriving at any of the five card-pickup stations on Pawtuckaway Lake. Over the next two hours, paddlers make their way to all five stations. At each station the paddlers pick a playing card. This card is recorded on their score card, which they are provided with at their first station. Refreshments will be served at each station.

After a paddler has picked up all five cards they paddle to the house of Barb and Les Thompson for the after-party where drinks and more refreshments will be provided. Poker hands will be compared and prizes awarded.

Eligibility

Paddlers using any type of human-propelled boat are eligible.
