Monticello — If you were not able to participate in the June Dale Hollow Lake Poker

Run, you missed out on a good time on Dale Hollow Lake. However, you are in

luck. There is another run scheduled for August 22-30, 2009, which is just

around the corner and we would like to invite you to participate.

Dale Hollow Lake is a special place tucked away at the edge of the

Cumberland Plateau in northern middle Tennessee and south central Kentucky.

The world record largest smallmouth bass was caught here years ago, and

there have been others that have rated in the top 10 over the years‹not only

the beautiful bronze backs, but other species as well.

It remains a fisherman's paradise, but it is much loved for the

multitude of water recreation opportunities (houseboating, water skiing,

personal watercraft adventures, diving, and more), the people (musicians,

crafters, farmers, and other extraordinary people), and places (shopping,

parks, historic sites, and eateries) that surround its deep waters.

The region is rich in heritage, brimming with great places to eat,

surrounded by the great outdoors with all the wonderful sites, sounds and

smells, and offers great music on most any occasion.

The pace is slower than that of many other areas, so don't let the word

run fool you. It's not a race.

It's about having a great time on and around Dale Hollow Lake and

helping to raise money for a worthy cause‹Ronald McDonald House (RMH)

Charities of Nashville.

The entry fee is $50 for this run (and gift item) with 50 percent going

to Ronald McDonald House and 50 percent going to the winners' pot for those

registering prior to the Aug. 22nd kick-off.

After Aug. 22nd, there will be a late fee of $10, which will go the RMH

Charities.

There will be 10 winners with the 1st prize potential being $2,000. You

must be 18 years of age and sign the registration waiver to play. Then you

can complete your hand in one day or over the course of 9 days.

Any age can enjoy a great time on Dale Hollow Lake. Pick up points for

this run are: Cedar Hill Resort, Eagle Cove Resort, East Port Marina &

Resort, Hendricks Creek Resort, Holly Creek Resort, Sulphur Creek Resort,

and Sunset Marina & Resort.

You can start at any of these distribution points‹visiting each at your

own pace and order during normal business hours. You can visit by lake or by

land (your choice), but you must visit each one to pick up your card and be

sure you turn in your hand at the final stop. You may register online

through the www.DaleHollowLakePokerRun.com link, by calling toll free

877-864-8666, or you may register at one of the pick up points during the

run (but you will have to pay the $10 late fee).

To add flavor to this event, Sunset Marina & Resort Restaurant will be

featuring a Crawfish & Crab Boil on August 29 with music by artist Gary

Anderson (guitarist/ singer/songwriter). Mitchell Creek Marina will also be

offering their new adventure activities (ATV rides, horseback and wagon

rides, paintball, hunting, canoe rides, dinner cruises, and more) even

though they will not be a pick up point during this event.

Other events will be added to the website event calendar

(www.DaleHollowLakePokerRun.com) as they are made public.

Don't miss this end of the summer opportunity to get out and enjoy Dale

Hollow Lake and the surrounding communities, benefit a great cause, nab a

cool blue DHL Poker Run bracelet, store up a "boat load" of terrific

memories, and maybe take home a little cash to sweeten the deal. Remember,

you can play by land as well as by lake.
