18th annual Bayside Poker Run

The 18th annual Bayside Poker Run will be held on Saturday, July 27 with its headquarters at the Eastern Shore Yacht & Country Club. Sponsored by the Pungoteague Ruritan Club and the Onancock Rotary Club, this event raised over $10,000 last year for local scholarships and local, nonprofit organizations.

This annual Bayside Poker Run is a fun day on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and adjoining creeks in the clubs’ community service areas.  Any boat owner may register to participate in the event, which is an opportunity to explore the bay from Onancock Creek to Nandua Creek in a fun and leisurely fashion.  It is not a race, but simply boaters choosing their own course and own pace to locate and visit five pre-chosen locations designated on a nautical chart with notes and guidelines.

An added feature this year will be a limited registration of vehicles that will arrive at the same checkpoints traveling Eastern Shore roads. The event has long offered a land option if rough seas made participants uncomfortable traveling by water. This year non-boaters may sign up and enjoy the fun without owning a boat.

BARK! The Musical

At the North Street Playhouse. Tonight at 8 p.m. and a Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Written by David Troy Francis, Mark Winkler, Gavin Geoffrey Dillard, and Robert Schrock. Directed by Ginny McMath, featuring Steven Lamprinos, James Patric, Delaney Petka, Aja Samone Ruffin, Beth Sharpley, & Sean Thomas.

In a frenetic city park, a young pup who has yet to find his bark finds counsel amid an eccentric cast of canine characters, each with their own dubious wisdom to lend. BARK! is a stunning musical homage to dogs and their intrepidly “human hearts” — lonely, hungry, horny, and howlingly funny! From Alaska to Brazil, BARK! has wagged the tails of audiences and critics alike. Bring a biscuit and a handkerchief and get ready to be adopted!
