You’d think there would have been at least some let up after the Boyne Thunder Poker Run celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. But if anything, this year’s event in Northern Michigan was more energized than ever. From the record-setting Thursday lunch run to Bay Harbor organized by UNRIEHL Performance to that evening’s American Custom Marine-hosted killer welcome party at Boyne Mountain Resort to the roaring street celebration on Friday, the vibe was pure exhilaration before Saturday’s main event.
