For anyone wanting to get a photo from the helicopter you are all welcome to do so.  That station will be open from 1:00 to 2:30 over by Havasu Landing Casino.  WAIT UNTIL the SAFETY COORDINATOR (Dan Herron or Jimmy Nichols RELEASE YOU) At approx. 1:30PM on Friday (Poker Run) you can head over there and get your picture taken. Stay around 35-60 mph for the helicopter to get a good shot.    

Safety boat team agrees to:  

• Bring your own water and snacks
• Move within your safety zone Please remember, during the poker run to stay towards the shore and not out in the middle of the lake.  If a boat stalls or breaks down, you can assist and tow them off to the shoreline where they can arrange a tow with Sea Tow, US Tow or a friend.  Our main purpose during the poker run is to keep the middle of the lake clear of boaters and let them know there is an event in progress, and to stay along the shoreline for their safety and/or entertainment J
