Friday evening is pre-registration and kick-off party at 7PM. If you are arriving Saturday morning, you WILL be able to register at Lake Murray Marina. Poker hands are $20 per person and you can purchase as many as you like. Proceeds go to the Chapin Optimist Club. Parking is plentiful and the boat launch is excellent. We will be gathering just outside the Lake Murray Marina on Saturday morning at 10:30 and leaving around 11AM to make the run.
