Sounds like an interesting alternative to your standard fly-in. These are pretty popular over in California Flying Schools I have been to as a fun way to get newly minted PPLs using their licence and meeting more experienced pilots rather than just letting it gather dust.

JOY OF FLIGHT: THE POKER RUN
Ever tried your hand at poker--general aviation style? Poker runs have
temporarily turned many a quiet GA airport into a mini-Chicago O'Hare
as dozens of pilots swoop in to collect their playing cards, hoping to
finish the day with the best hand. Ride along with Colleen Turner in
"The Poker Run," (

the latest installment of the Joy of Flight, as she recounts flying in
to five airports to pick up cards during a poker run in the Seattle area.
