Dale Hollow Lake Poker Run

The Dale Hollow Lake Coalition (DHLC) announces the Dale Hollow Lake Poker Run. It is to be held as 2 two separate events - June 6-14 and August 22-30, 2009. The DHLC has chosen the Nashville Ronald McDonald House (RMH) as a beneficiary of this event. It is $100/hand to enter and each participant will receive an activity pass/special souvenir item to commemorate the event. (80% goes to the winners’ pot and 20% goes to RMH. 1 out of 5 hands is a winner!)

We would appreciate it if you would post our event information and help spread the word. You can download the event flyer at www.DaleHollowLakePokerRun.com if you would like to print it out to post. Please share this information with anyone that might be interested in participating.

Event Description: A Poker Run is about fun on and around Dale Hollow Lake. Each participant navigates the lake or the beautiful Tennessee and Kentucky roads around the lake by motorcycle or automobile stopping at seven checkpoints along the route to pick up a single playing card at each location. The Dale Hollow Poker Run is planned as a family event that is played out over 9 days. Players can choose to complete their poker hand over just one day, a weekend, or the entire week. We have both an early summer and late summer Poker Run scheduled. Participants may start at any of the participating marinas and choose their own direction and timing. The Poker Run is not a race, and there are no prizes for speed. We want this to be a safe, fun, family poker run. Eighty percent of the money collected will be paid out to the poker winners with one in five participants earning prize money. Twenty percent of the money will go to Ronald McDonald House Charities. There will be additional corporate opportunities to participate and donate to the Ronald McDonald House as well. The poker run is open to everyone…. Participate by boat, motorcycle, or auto – your choice.

The week will also be filled with exciting entertainment and activities around Dale Hollow Lake. The Dale Hollow Poker Run will communicate the activities as they become available. Visit www.DaleHollowLakePokerRun.com for the most up to date Dale Hollow Lake Poker Run information and details.
