EVENT WRAP UP: BIG CAT POKER RUN 2015
Teague Custom Marine presented the Big Cat Poker Run event, based out of the Northern California town of Discovery Bay, on August 14 and 15. This unique poker run has become one of the largest performance boating events on the West Coast and takes participants on a boating adventure through the waters of the California Delta with stops in different cities.
Although the event name includes the word "Cat", this is not to preclude V-bottoms from entering the poker run; all boats are welcome. All types and sizes of boats are welcome and with the addition of a 'short course' this year, there was something for everybody. In addition to two courses this year, also new was increased national media coverage. Shooting the event for the first time was Florida-based photographer Jay Nichols of Naples Image, who worked from a helicopter on both days of the event.
Teague Custom Marine has been a co-title sponsor with Colledgewood Inc. since the event's inception in the year 2000, and the beneficiary is the Discovery Bay Lion's Club. Thus the moniker 'Big Cat' refers to the Lion head in the logo of this charity organization. Volunteers from the local community and the Lion's Club take care of poker run registration duties and orchestrating many details of the event.

Teague Custom Marine would especially like to recognize volunteer Big Cat coordinator Glenn Hoffman for stepping up and giving tremendous effort and heart to put on the event and continue its community legacy. Proceeds from the event, currently estimated at over $25,000, go though the Discovery Bay Lions Club to support programs for children with visual impairments.
Overall, the Big Cat didn't disappoint, with hot summer weather, fun boating, parties with live music, and friends new and old. Photographer Jay Nichols reported to Speed On The Water, "It's really different out here, but beautiful in its own way." We tend to agree. The community feel and thousands of miles of freshwater waterways are hard to beat. We can't wait for next year!
