PADDLE FOR CLEAN WATER

in the 1st Annual

Flathead Lake Poker Paddle

on Sunday, July 12, 2015

Human propelled watercraft start from Kings Point and paddle a 3.6-mile course to five designated island stops in The Narrows of Flathead Lake collecting one playing card at each location.

*  Prizes are awarded for the top poker hands.
*  Catered After-Party with LIVE entertainment.
*  Limited to the first 100 paddle craft.
*  Additional poker hands are available.
*  Early Bird Special (by May 31st)!

This is not a traditional "race" as players are building the best poker hands.

Proceeds benefit the Flathead Lakers Student Education Program and community work to support clean water.
