TEMPLETON LANDING, BUFFALO, NEW YORK
AUGUST 9TH & 10TH, 2013

I would like to take the chance to thank you in advance for participating in this year’s event. We are looking forward to another fun and safe run. The weather did not cooperate last year and we still hosted 64 boats, and 210 people. We needed to run our alternate course do to wind and weather for the first time in over ten years. This was a disappointment to many, since the runs normal ending at the beach is always a hit. The ability to have an alternate course is essential to planning. With a record number of boats registered in 2012 we donated $4,000 to our Charity and paid out over $3,000 in cash prizes.

This year we plan to grow this event with more boats and larger pay outs. We are excited to announce that Tim Sharky of Sharky Images will be returning for the third year in a row. So those of you with new boats should get online and pick out a photo package. He will be pre-selling packages through Sharkey Images "Digital Photography one BYTE at a time!" with a money back guarantee if you do not like your photos.

Listed in this package are our itinerary, registration forms, and entry fees. We ask that the entry forms are back to us by July 1st, 2013 to receive the early registration price. Knowing that it is difficult to obtain a final count for the passengers on your boat prior to July 1st, 2013 we will allow you to add passengers at a later date without penalty. We ask that the boat and driver are registered. This will allow us to plan for parking and docking and to ensure our event runs smoothly and in a timely fashion.

As always, this is a US Coast Guard Approved Event and PFD’s are required when on plane. Boats that do not follow the Rules and Safety Regulations will be disqualified. NO EXCEPTIONS! All boats participating in this event are required to carry $300,000 or greater in watercraft liability coverage maintained in full force and effect during the term of the event. Boats without insurance will not be able to run. We will refuse ANY boat without INSURANCE PROOF and or PROPER PAPERWORK.

Please have all paper work to us prior to run, this year we will not except same day registrations on Saturday. You can register until 9pm Friday, August 9th. Please visit our website Buffalo Poker Run - Western New York Offshore Powerboat Association - Powerboating and Poker Run Events on Lake Erie (Buffalo Waterfront / Erie Basin Marina), Lake Ontario, and Niagara River or visit us on FACEBOOK (WNYOPA) for pictures from last year along with Sharkey Images "Digital Photography one BYTE at a time!".
