Liquid Jungle Poker Run on the Upper Mississippi

Liquid Jungle Poker Run

Update 4-1-04

The Upper Mississippi Power Boaters are please to announce the Liquid Jungle Poker Run will be august 21st this year. This year all proceed will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation.



It's hard to believe it's already April. It seemed like winter was never going to end. We have had a lot of wonderful feedback form last year's event. It was a huge success! We've even received registrations forms already.



For anyone who is unfamiliar with the Liquid Jungle Poker Run, here is a run down of the event. We put on a full on poker run (80 plus miles) on pools 4(lake Pepin) and 5 of the Upper Mississippi River. We have moved the drivers meeting to Great River Harbor this year. Again this year the pace boat will be provided by Revolutionmarine.com. We will again be doing the grand prix start at the south end of lake Pepin. We are still working with local establishments, to determine all of our stops. We will again be ending at Great River Harbor. After the poker run we will be having a hog roast with all the fixings (armbands included with registration), and a live band playing into the night, like last year.



We have also hired a professional photographer to videotape the event. A completely edited video of the poker run will be available.



Make your slip reservations by calling the Great River Harbor at 608-248-2454. Please be sure and tell them, that you are coming for the poker run.



The Upper Mississippi Power Boaters have teamed up with Midwestboatparty.com to provide a website. Information, registrations forms, and photos from the poker run will be available. The poker run section of the site should be up and running soon, so check it out. Any questions or comments can be emailed to [email protected]

Got your e-mail Thirsty-again, I can't comment on my schedule. Shoot me a couple of reminders. Sounds like this will be a fun run.

Talked to the Revolution Marine guys about this event when they were in Oshkosh. Sounds like a lot of fun - will try to make it over, if not racing.
