Not to be a wet blanket, but isn't that the same weekend as EAA?  Is it safe to have a poker run the same weekend that a lot of boats are going to be on the water for the air show?  

It's going to be pretty congested in the river with air show traffic  and a poler run at the same time.

It is the same weekend as EAA. We are spreading out the poker run to Fremont and back to Winnebago hopefully this will help keep the congestion down. With lots of boats already in town hopefully we get a lot of participation.

I've got some friends going to the EAA show --- can you walk from the EAA to the water? Just wondering if I can pick them up in my boat easily

You can, but it's several blocks to the edge of the airport... and most people are at the other end of the airport which is many blocks long (10+?). There are 2 public landings near. Plan on lunch at Ardy & Ed's which is right across the street from the southmost landing.

I was actually BS'n with the buddy of mine who goes to it every year. He was talking about some area where they have a shuttle bus that takes them to the water where they have water airplanes take off and land - wasn't sure if I could dock up to that...

I believe the seaplane base is the bay just east of Streiches.  You'll probably get shot up by the county sheriff if you get too close to the bay  :o, but maybe your buddy could get a seaplane to drive him out to Streiches beach.
