Shootout This Weekend!

No doubt about it; the Shootout is one of the Lake's biggest annual events. People come from all over the Midwest to participate in activities that span more than a week. The Shootout's main attraction is the high speed boat race, but there are plenty of other fun activities going on as well! 

Dog Days wants to be the first to tell you about the PWC Dam Poker Run, which will culminate in an awesome after party held at our sister restaurant, Shorty Pants Lounge! Not only will this event be a great excuse to get out on the water, but you'll have a chance to win cash and prizes as well!

What?

Grab your waverunner and head out for a great day on the water. Participants will travel to Truman Dam and back, covering a total of 130 miles and visiting several lakefront restaurants to collect stamps for their poker hands. Plus, don't forget about all the pit stops along the way - riders will also get to try their hands at cliff jumping and rope swinging on the Lake! 

At the end of the day, riders will gather at one of the Lake's best waterfront restaurant and bars: Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina! You definitely won't want to miss out on this rockin' after party, complete with everything from delicious drinks to a great crowd. Dam Poker Girls will compare poker hands at the after party and award prizes to the lucky winners.

When?

This exciting event will take place on Thursday, August 22nd. The ride will kick off at 9:00 AM. There's still time to register online here!
