The event is to honor and memorialize those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our great nation and bring awareness to veteran suicide whereby an estimated 22 veterans per day are lost. The Franklinton Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 47, in partnership with Our Veterans Memorial Park invite you to the inaugural Memorial Day Bogue Chitto Bash Poker Run.
The event will start at the Franklinton Boat Ramp, located at the end of Pearl Street. Participants will travel 11 miles south down the Bogue Chitto River, making four stops to collect playing cards before returning the 11 miles up river to the boat launch where the final card will be drawn. The 22 mile journey is in honor of our fallen military members. Once all participants have returned, the top hand will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, high card draw will prevail. Prizes will be awarded for Best Hand and Worst Hand. There will be a 50/50 Raffle and a Poker Chip drawing for a prize.
We will have Live Music provided by Dylan Varnado and Crawfish provided by the Louisiana Lt. Governor's Office. Crawfish is included in the Registered Participants fee and is available to non-boaters for $20 per person.
All proceeds will benefit Our Veterans Park and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #47
