Gary and Jennifer McConnell's annual Honey Creek Poker Run
Stop was highlighted with an awesome Tiki Bar. They won the
Best Poker Run Stop award again this year! |
 |
he 7th Annual Missouri River Poker Run was held on Saturday - July
16th out of Dodge Park Marina in Omaha.
The weather was
hot-hot-hot but it certainly didn't stop the 115 registered boats
from participating in this event.
We sold 562 hands of poker and
raised $962 for the Make-a-Wish of Nebraska foundation. We also
gave away quite a sum of money to the lucky winners.
The following are results from this year's run:

Brad Olsen |
$1,967 |
