Lake Poker Run
| |
A
poker run is not a race. It is an opportunity for boaters to get out
on the water and enjoy a day of safe boating with friends and fun.
The object is to pick up 5 playing cards from points around the lake
and see who has the best poker hand at the end of the day.
There are five
card stops to make on the lake. Each stop will have a complete deck
of cards with each card sealed in an envelope. You must pick up
a card at each stop in order. If you cannot make each stop due to
weather or your boat's range, you may pick up your missing cards
at the end of the day before the banquet.
