ABOUT the EVENT
IYKYK! Crisfield is a peaceful little working waterman's town at the very end of the Chesapeake Country All American Road on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that is known for crabs, ducks and it likes to do things BIG! Along with the World’s Largest Rubber Duck will be music, vendors, lots of food and a waterfront bar hosted by American Legion Post 16 with special aerial photos available for poker run participants. We will have a Jeep and Motorcycle Poker Run to enjoy before you get to Crisfield with two poker run routes stretching along the beautiful shores of the Chesapeake Bay from either north or south of American Legion Post #16 and Wellington Beach. Please register you and your passengers before coming to the last stop--the duck! Collect specially marked "duck" cards at each designated stop. Duck card values will be announced at the BIG DUCK at 4:30pm and you must be present to collect. Winner of each Poker Runs receives 25% of poker runs proceeds in cash at the 4:30pm draw. There will be some extra cards available at the event area (first come, first served).
​
All proceeds from the event will go to Friends of Crisfield, a non-profit which provides support for many events and activities in Crisfield, and local disabled veterans and first responders with Service Dogs (including U.S. Kennels Inc.).

Helpful Hints
​
-
Jeep parking will be across from the beach, and Motorcycle parking next to Legion Parking/Camping Area. Legion is members only parking.
-
BRING CASH! You will need to bring cash or go to a nearby ATM (Legion, Big Willeys, PNC) once you get here. Many vendors will only accept cash. Our Legion bar will happily accept electronic payments.
