We're trying something new this year and I think it's going to be pretty cool. We're going to do a poker run that ends at Schaefer's Canal House with a Meet N Greet.
WHO: Anyone is welcome to attend and hang out at Schaefer's. The more the merrier and we hope to see some new faces. To actually win the poker run you must be an official DEJA member.
WHAT: @whatevah and @sandtostand are gonna have to help clarify this but it's gonna work something like this. We'll have two routes, one coming from the north of Schaefer's and one coming from the south. We'll give you a starting location to stop at to pick up a card, there you'll get the next one, etc until you end up at Schaefer's. 5 cards? 3? Help me out here @whatevah. There will be some pretty measurable prize(es) for the best hand(s) and everyone who does the poker run will get something.
Don't feel like doing the poker run? Cool, all good. Just show up at Schaefer's for some libations.
WHEN: Saturday June 10th, ~3pm arrival at Schaefer's. I think Jerry is planning for the poker run to take 1-2 hours depending on where you are starting from.
WHERE: Schaefer's Canal House - 208 Bank St, Chesapeake City, MD 21915 - http://www.schaeferscanalhouse.com/ It's 5 minutes from Middletown, DE, anyone who says "but it's in Maryland!" gets my foot someplace uncomfortable. We'll have part of the back deck reserved just for us plus we should have access to cornhole boards and plenty of room to hang out. It will be an outdoor bar atmosphere but it's absolutely kid/family friendly.
WHY: We're trying something different to see how it goes. We have a bunch of "classic" DEJA events we do very successfully every year but we want to try new stuff to keep it interesting.
POKER RUN RULES: Do not open the envelopes, look for Jerry "Whatevah" at the restaurant to check in. Each club member in the vehicle can get their own envelopes. One envelope per person per site - each site is numbered. You can do all southern route sites, all northern sites or a mix of both... but only 5 envelopes will be opened. A bonus 6th site will be located near Schaefers. Best 5-card hand wins. You may begin at any time Saturday morning, but must check in with Jerry before 3:30pm, the winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
