A Summer Saturday in Star Lake


What do you do in a tiny hamlet on a summer Saturday? Sleep late. Walk 4 miles around the lake. Visit some of the 50 houses participating in the Great Summer Garage Sale. And…be part of the Star Lake Protective Association’s Pirate Poker Run!
 
A special feature of Star Lake is that many of the camps have motorized docks. For the Poker Run, you invite your friends, motor out to the big sand bar, pay your $5 (member) or $10 (guest) and pick up your numbered list of camps to visit to get your cards.
 
 One of the camps that was giving out cards was on our bay of the lake so we decided to sit in the shade at the waterfront and let the show come to us. 
 After a couple of hours of floating around to the various houses, all the docks gather at the sand bar and party together while the organizers compare hands to see who won. We went to the party.
