On The Treasure Coast, FL (May 29, 2008) - Check your compass and set your course for Stuart in June. It's time for the 2nd Stuart Family Fun Boat Poker Run, produced by the Marine Industries Association of the Treasure Coast. This event will benefit the Martin County Artificial Reef Program and the Stuart Sea Scouts. Get on board now to be part of this fun-filled event.

This "Land or Sea" event takes place on Saturday, June 7. There are seven stops - each one accessible by boat, car or motorcycle. This is not a race, but a chance to visit some great places in beautiful Martin County. Stops include Four Fish Marina; Pirates Cove Resort and Marina; Finz Waterfront Grille, where you can spend time visiting local artists at the Fish House Art Gallery next door; St. Lucie Marine; Wahoo's on the Waterfront at The Harborage Yacht Club and Marina; Executive Yachts and The Harbor Inn and Deck Restaurant. The event begins at 11:00 am and all poker hands must be completed by 5:00 pm. An island style marina party will follow at Wahoo's on the Waterfront, beginning at 5:30 pm, where the winning hands will be announced. There will be plenty of food, live entertainment, a silent auction and many great prizes.

"We are planning a full day of family fun", says Vera Locke, Executive Director of the Marine Industries Association of the Treasure Coast. "We want to give people a good reason to get out on the water and have fun. If you don't have a boat you can still participate by car or motorcycle and support two great causes", says Locke.

In addition to going from stop to stop in an attempt to get the best poker hand, kids fourteen and under have an opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt along the way. Some great prizes are available to those who are successful in obtaining all of the scavenger hunt items.

The entry fee of $110 includes one boat/vehicle entry, two poker hands, two t-shirts and two tickets to the Island Party. All entrants must attend the mandatory Captain's Meeting on Thursday, June 5 at 6:00 pm at Finz Waterfront Grille in Port Salerno.

Registration forms are available by contacting the MIATC Office (772) 692-7599, at any of the stop locations, or download the information from our web site (www.miatc.com).
