FALL RIVER — Time to get revved up.

 

Powerboats are making their way back to the Fall River waterfront with the return of the Borden Light Marina Charity Poker Run.

 

Over 60 powerboats will launch from the waters of Mount Hope Bay next weekend for the fundraising event organized by Mike and Nicole Lund, owners of the Borden Light Marina, as well as Tipsy Seagull and Pier 52 restaurants.

 

And even if you're not a boater, there are still plenty of ways to get in on the fun.

 

"We've created this little village down at Borden Light Marina for the event, where the public can participate and hang out for the day," Nicole Lund said.

 

Festivities get underway Friday with special VIP events for participating crews, but the main event is Saturday, Aug. 3, with the race and a slate of activities for the public at the marina.

 

Powerboats leave the dock at the Tipsy Seagull, 1 Ferry St., and take off under the Braga Bridge at 12:30 p.m.
