LACONIA, NH – Whether commandeering a ship or a sports car, everyone registered for this year’s HK Powersports Land & Lake Poker Run for Easterseals NH will receive a treasure map at check-in on Saturday, July 8, 2023, in Laconia. The event is pirate-themed from start to finish, with a Buccaneer Bash Party for all ages to end the day.
Participants are encouraged to come in costume and decorate the boat, car, or motorcycle they’ll captain as they travel to checkpoints around Lake Winnipesaukee to collect playing cards. The last stop is the NazBar & Grill on the beach at The NASWA Resort in Laconia, where participants will receive their final card and reveal their hand for a chance to win up to $1,000.
The grand prize for the day is a brand new 2023 Sea Doo GTI SE with trailer valued at over $13,000 from HK Powersports of Laconia. Additional raffle prizes include a new Saber grill and a choice of an Old Town kayak or canoe.
Another highlight of the Poker Run is the live auction featuring sports memorabilia and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
There will be a contest for Best Dressed Crew and Best Land and Lake Pirate Ships, a buffet, DJ, and beach games with The Brethren of Pirates.
