The Lakeland Area Kiwanis is hosting a new fundraising event for the Northwoods, The Kiwanis Poker Paddle for kids. This event will be held on September 15th, and is similar to a “Poker Run” except is in on the water in non-motorized watercraft. Paddlers will navigate the waters of Little Star Lake, Manitowish Lake, Spider Lake, continue to Stone Lake, and up the channel to Rest Lake. The finish location will be a Camp Jorn YMCA. There will be 5 to 6 locations along the way to collect cards for the winning 5-card draw poker hand. This is not a timed event and should be enjoyed at your leisure. The paddle time is approx. 3 hours, distance about 7 miles. There will be a “Paddle Party” after the “Poker Paddle” at Camp Jorn YMCA with dinner, music, prizes and lots of fun activities starting at 4pm. The paddler with the best poker hand wins $300 and the paddler with the worst poker hand wins $150. Deadline for online or mail entries is Wednesday September 12th at noon, day of registrations will be taken until 12:30pm.
