New! Poker Run

On Saturday, July 26th our Special Events Team  is introducing a new event which we are sure you will all enjoy. Any profits from this event will go towards the Horsehead and John Brown Lakes Fish Fund.

The Poker Run will begin at 1:00 P.M. and end at 4:00 P.M.  Rules for this event are as follows.

1. The cost is $5.00 per person, for one hand,  with registration beginning at 12 noon at the sand bar on the south end of Horsehead Lake. You will receive an envelope with your first playing card at this time.

2. At least one person per boat must be an association member.

3. There will be 6 sites around Horsehead and Little John Brown marked with a white flag. These sites will be at the end of a dock or could be on a boat out on the lake. As you locate these sites (and identify yourselves with the colored envelope given to you during registration) you will be given an additional envelope containing another card.

4. Do not open any of the envelopes. Opened envelopes will disqualify the hand.

5. Bring all seven (7) unopened envelopes back to the sand bar between 4 and 4:30 where they will be opened by event officials. The best 5 out of 7 cards will be used to determine your best hand.

6. Prizes will be awarded at 4:30 at the sand bar.  The winner will be the player with the best hand and will receive half of the money collected.

7. Envelopes containing jokers are eligible for a door prize. You will be given another playing card  to replace the joker by officials.

8. You must be present to win a prize.

 

The success of this event depends on all of us and how we follow the boating rules on the water. There is plenty of time to locate all six sites in the allotted  3 hours, so please stay 100 feet from docks and rafts while looking for flags, proceed around the lake in a counter clockwise direction, and observe no-wake speeds where they apply.

 

Note: Rain date if necessary is Saturday,  August  2.
