Thank you to everyone who attended the 2025 Pink Dinghy Poker Run - Pirate Party! You amazed us with your creativity and spirit, reflected in the awesome costumes and dinghy decor.
Thanks to our participants and partners we raised nearly $7,000 for the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation.
You are difference makers!
This year's winner for best decorated dinghy was the Archer family. They won a $250 gift card donated by Central Marine, Midland. Runners up were the Goulding and Dimmelow Families who will be sporting fashionable Anchor Gear apparel.
Congratulations to Savannah Archer, who gave her best impression while dressed as a parrot and sitting atop her father's shoulders. She won a bucking bronco floatie compliments of WOW! Watersports.
The winners as judged by The Voice of Boating and crew were Ian and Carol Campbell. They sang a pirate song and wowed the judges. They won a floatie with cup holder from Island Products. Watch our socials for a video (coming soon)
Ryan Archer won for this outfit. (He should also get a medal for staying in costume even when the humidex hit nearly 40c!)
He won the Ultimate Bucket and shirts from Queen's Cove Marina
Savannah Archer won for being a parrot (sitting on her dad's shoulder for much of the day). Her prize was a Bucking Bronco floatie from WOW! and a gift certificate and swag from The Skaters Loft in Wasaga Beach.
This group of swashbucklers included pirates Cheri Buxton and Jon Blaicher, with special guest Debby Diver who was dressed as a parrot with a full mask on one of the hottest days of the summer. There was not prize for sweaty costumes, but they won group paintball tickets from Wasaga Adventure Park as well as an assortment of Anchor Gear - which will be much cooler to wear for a day on Georgian Bay!
