HOBO Scholarship Poker Run
Lake Mitchell HOBO sponsors an annual Poker Run contest to support the Scholarship Fund. Contestants pay a $25 entry fee, then travel by boat around the lake to eight dealers where they they draw their hands. The winning hand is awarded a cash prize that is based on the total number of contestants. 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.
