Calling all Land and Lake Patriots! On Saturday, July 11th come by boat, car, and motorcycle for the 25th Annual HK Powersports Poker Run to benefit Easterseals New Hampshire.

Wear your red, white, and blue and “play” poker by collecting playing cards hidden in envelopes at designated locations on and around Lake Winnipesaukee. Cash prizes are given out for the best land and best lake poker hand. There will also be a raffle, with the grand prize items valued from $700 – $13k+.

Start your day at Belknap Subaru in Tilton (Exit 20, I-93), offering snacks and surprises for travelers from the south.

Land stops include HK Powersports in Laconia, Patrick’s Pub in Gilford, and Pie Guys Pizzeria in Meredith. For watercraft, visit Watermark Marine in Paugus Bay, Pontoon Boat at Weirs Beach, Shibley’s Docks in Alton Bay, and North Water Marine Boat in Meredith. Dive Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro NH is an OPTIONAL card stop only for those boaters who want to see more of the lake!

The final stop is The NASWA Resort where your poker hand is revealed to you. That’s when the competition really begins! Keep donating to improve your hand for cash prizes: $1,000 in the Cohen Family High Rollers Club. $750 cash prizes for both land and lake winners.

All that Poker Run fun benefits Easterseals NH’s core programs which serve nearly 16,000 New Hampshire children, adults, seniors, and Veterans each year.

Standard registration for either the land or lake route is $75, and includes a poker hand, buffet pass, 1 grand prize raffle ticket, and 1 t-shirt. Additional raffle tickets, buffet passes, and t-shirts can be purchased when registering. There is also a high-roller registration option available as well.
