Registration is now open for the 4th Annual Pink Dinghy Poker Run!  Check the website at  pinkdinghypokerrun.ca.

Where:  Beausoleil Island/Honey Harbour
When:  July 13, 2019 11am to 4pm
“Only 100 hands available – and we sold out last year!”

Boaters and cottagers board their dinghies (jet boats, small tenders or PWCs work well too) for an afternoon trip around the Honey Harbour area of Georgian Bay – gathering cards from five different stops. Prizes are awarded for the top poker hands plus other surprises.

The first one was held at Wana Keta on Beausoleil Island in July 2016.


Pink Dinghy Poker RunShow your support, fly the flag!

We have ordered 100 marine flags with our logo. They are $20 each, and all proceeds from the purchase of our flags will go to support the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation. We will have them at this year’s Pink Dinghy Poker Run event, or you can reserve your flag in advance by emailing us at pinkdinghypokerrun@gmail.com for payment details.

This year we are awarding prizes for the best dressed/decorated – person and group. So we encourage you to “get your pink on” like May and David did last year!
