According to participants ranging first-timer Jay Anthony Cooke from Toronto, Canada, to veteran Wayne Schaldenbrand of longtime event sponsor Sunsation Boats, there was no sense of urgency when it came to the run. But the Friday and Saturday night celebrations in the houseboat community at State Dock? And the expansive post-run, Saturday afternoon raft-up on Harmon Creek? No one wanted to miss a minute of those Lake Cumberland Poker Run traditions.

“Friday night on houseboat row was packed with people and a DJ and a full dance floor,” said Cooke, who traveled to the event and spent most of his time with a group of fellow Canadians, as well as folks from Michigan and Wisconsin. “On Saturday afternoon after we got our last card, we went to the Harmon Creek raft-up. There were literally hundreds of boats on the water. It took us an hour to tour through and see all the parties and, well, other entertainment. We’ll leave it at that as this is a PG article. On Saturday night, we’re back on houseboat row with the DJ and the dance floor party.”
