Hope to see some of you guys there this year....Who's in, we will be in my 45 Sonic - Private Island 2 -.

The area band, “Blue Fish” will bring an entertainment aspect to the event this year. “We’re adding a free concert,” said Connie Morris, LEA executive director. “Everyone can enjoy live music while we’re getting all the entrants checked in to find out who wins. Blue Fish will start playing around 2 p.m.”

Food and beverage vendors will be set-up during the day so even if you don’t participate in the poker run, you can come out and join the party.

Pre-entry Fee (by June 10 at 8 p.m.) is $175 for five cards; $200 for six. Entry fee the day of the event is $200 for five cards; $225 for six.

We usually do this one or the whole hog days. They are good runs and open waters. I don't know why more people don't show for these events.

I think we might bring the eliminator down there.

Heading to the lake, I think we are going to leave the houseboat in dock at Evergreen marina this weekend and let the girls watch the poker run and make it a guys day. When you dive by give us a honk or wave. We dock on the outside slip right next to the gas dock (red and white Horizon houseboat - Private Island -) After the run we will probably go out to the cut.

I told you guys you should show up.....Believe it or not I lucked out and finished first. We were the first two packets in....Started the run around 10 and finsished before noon. We got a $100 instant win card again this year and our hand was 4 Aces and with a Jack high. I thought we would get beat out but we didnt......We won first this year and took home 10K. The weather was perfect and the win helped too
