School is out and summer is here and the
FIRST Dale Hollow Lake Poker Run is schedule to begin this weekend -
June 6-14 (played out over as few or as many days during this time frame as you wish) which will
benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville. If you register before the run begins, it will save you some $$. You can get all the details and register on-line through
www.DaleHollowLakePokerRun.com. Registration is the only way to obtain your Official Dale Hollow Lake Poker Run Score Card and gift item, which you will be able to pick up at the first participating marina of the run (you may also sign up at the participating marina if you haven't been able to do so prior to the event). 1 in 5 players will win with up to $2500 for first place (payout depends on the number of participants). Some of the participating marinas are running specials during the event. The Clay County Fair is also durning this week and the

Don't forget
Fathers Day is June 21st! Give Dad a getaway to his favorite destination. There are plenty of great escapes to enjoy. Make memories to last a lifetime for both of you.
Great news for families!
Cumberland Caverns is making it easier for families to enjoy a cave tour. For the months of June & July 2009, Cumberland Caverns will be offering a child's ticket (regularly $10 for children 6-12) at no cost every Friday! Cumberland Caverns is Tennessee's largest show cave and a U.S. National Natural Landmark boasting some of the largest underground rooms and the most spectacular formations in the eastern US.
It won't be long until the famed
Hwy. 127 Yard Sale - The World's Longest Yard Sale. The event received some great coverage in
Parade magazine last weekend. If you missed the article and would still like to see what they had to say, just check them out at
this link. It is possible that this rural area could claim the title of the world's yard sale capital, but it isn't official yet. There are many marathon yard sales throughout the year. The
Hwy. 52 Yard Sale just wrapped up - May 21-22 (
www.tn52.com) and the
Roller Coaster Yard Sale (the oldest and most authentic marathon yard sale in Tennessee or Kentucky) is scheduled for Oct. 1-3 (
www.RollerCoasterFair.com). Even when there isn't a marathon sale scheduled, you can often find yard sale after yard sale all around.
