Sidney Poker Run “Start your engines!”
Aug 9, 2017
The Sidney Poker Run has been resurrected and has become a fun, successful event for the Town of Sidney. Previously known as the Vancouver Island Poker Run, it now has a new name and new look. Dale Backhaus and Debbie Tracz took over the Run thee years ago as the new organizers of the event.
a fun day on the water sends boaters motoring to five different boat/card stops located around the different islands with a final lunch stop at Port Browning. The boats collect a playing card at each stop to create a poker hand and the best hand wins a prize and trophy.
You will see all sorts of boats from fishing boats to Offshore Performance Boats up to 42’ long with big horse power. This is a fun event with like-minded people enjoying a day on the water and some of our beautiful west coast scenery. Dale and Debbie feel fortunate to have donated all net proceeds to the Sidney Lions Food Bank and to give back to their community.
This year the Sidney Poker Run will be on August 12th, 2017 with a start time of 10:00 am. Come down to The Port of Sidney Saturday morning and view these amazing boats.
