Lake Mitchell HOBO sponsors an annual family-friendly Poker Run contest to support the Scholarship Fund.  Contestants pay a $25 entry fee, then travel by boat around the lake to several dealers where they they draw their hands.  The winning hand is awarded a cash prize.  There are also many other valuable prizes awarded that have been donated by dozens of local businesses and individuals.  In addition to a great day of fun on the lake, the event raises thousands of dollars for the Scholarship Fund.
