Last Chance Poker Run, September 5-7, 2008

 Sue and Frank Kinzie, owners of Beverly Port Marina since 1996, announce the 5th Annual Last Chance Poker Run, September 5-7, 2008. 

 Founded in 1626, Beverly, Massachusetts is one of the oldest communities in the country and has one of the oldest houses in the country.  Its spectacular "Gold Coast" is rimmed with ocean-front mansions visible from the water.  Host, Beverly Port Marina is the site from which the first ship in the U.S. Navy, the Hannnah, sailed in 1775 during the Revolutionary War, thus it lays claim to being the "Birthplace of the American Navy."  Beverly, Massachusetts, was home to many privateers during the Revolution and was also the summer home of President Taft.
