Lake Palestine POKER RUN to benefit MDA
The 1st annual Lake Palestine Poker Run to benefit MDA will take place this coming Saturday, August 30, 2008, Labor Day Weekend. Boaters from all of East Texas have been invited to participate in what's bound to be a great day of fun for the entire family.
To participate, bring your boat out to the Villages Marina on Lake Palestine Saturday, August 30th and register between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The entry fee is $25.00 per Boat and you will receive a map of Lake Palestine with 5 designated points on the lake marked. Concessions will be provided at the Marina by Snow Coney Island. Their famous "snow balls" are always a big hit with the kids.
The Game will begin that day at 2:00 p.m. Take your family and friends out boating and locate each of the 5 designated points marked on the map. When you locate each of the designated points, each boat will pick up one sealed Poker Card at each point. Each boat has until 7:00 p.m. to be back to The Villages Marina with all of their 5 Poker Cards.
Once all boats have returned, everyone's cards will be revealed. The Boat with the best 5-card hand will be the Winner. The winner will get 50% of the pot the other 50% goes to MDA. For example, if 100 boats participate, the winner will receive $1250.00. HW Marine is also offering a bonus of $250.00 to the Winner if the boat that they are participating in was purchased from HW Marine in the last 2 years. In case of a tie, the Winner will be decided by drawing cards - highest card wins. There will also be sponsor-donated prizes given out.
The check from the Poker Run will be presented to MDA Live on KETK/NBC during the 43rd annual
Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon on Monday morning, September 1st.
