Missouri River boaters will have an opportunity to take part in a newly revised event this year on Saturday, July 11th. Formally known as the Missouri River Poker Run, this year's Aquapalooza event will not be a poker run but will involve at least 5 fun-filled stops along the river with the day ending at the Anchor Inn (mile marker 619).

EVENT UPDATE:

The Treasure Run will be held on Saturday July 11th from 10am to 5pm, Anchor Inn will be open for Breakfast at 10am and will remain open to host the end party until 1am.  

In lieu of a Poker Run, we have decided to make things easier and more fun for all involved. 1000 raffles will be sold on the day of the event at the following locations: Sandpiper, Anchor Inn, Dodge Park and Cottonwood.

Cost for each Raffle is $10.00. The Raffle income will be used to hand out as cash prize money!!!!   Raffle tickets will be sold until 3pm or while supplies last.  Each boat that signs up before the free t-shirt deadline will receive two free Aquapalooza T-shirts per boat.

Stops which are all optional will include: Sandpiper Cove Marina, Anchor Inn, Dodge Park, Honey Creek, and Cottonwood.  Various prizes will be given away at the different stops. Prizes will be awarded immediately at each stop.  The more you stop, the more you win.  

As for the cash prizes: A random drawing will be made at Anchor Inn after the run is complete. An announcement will be made at Anchor Inn.  Participants DO NOT have to be present to win cash.  If you are not present a check will be mailed to you.

Comments from Readers

Definitely need to make it a poker run again! The prizes they were giving away at the stops were not worth the risks! Boats were getting hit and people getting pinned between boats...cups and koozies aren't worth the hassle...plus the hassles from the coast guards and sheriffs. Poker run makes it more worth the while. I know there were lots of people that didn't even waste the time or gas to go to the Cottonwood Marina...which cut a lot of business from them. Had fun but could have been better to get something worth while. - Tina
