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.
