Posted in Things To Do by

Bring your poker face this weekend!

The 16th Annual Spring Harbor Hop is happening this Saturday, May 4th at the Lake of the Ozarks.

This is the perfect time of year to catch see the blooming Dogwood trees, so be sure to bring your camera! If you’re more interested in poker, players can donate $15 for each seven-card hand. There’s no better way to kick off the boating season.

More from TheLakeOnline:

The Harbor Hop is a poker hop in which participants pick up playing cards in order to build a winning poker hand and become eligible to win prizes. Players can donate $15  per seven-card hand and start their run to draw their first card at any of the sponsoring restaurants, and marinas along the lake’s main channel and the Big Niangua and Gravois arms.
“This event is a great opportunity for visitors and locals to get out on the Lake and take in the beautiful spring blooming dogwood trees while enjoying a great time with friends,” states Heather Brown, Director of Member Services for the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau. “At the Harbor Hop, we can guarantee a good time. We invite everyone to come join the fun and enjoy our beautiful Lake.”
The Spring Harbor Hop traditionally is held the first weekend of May to kick off our boating season. The Lake of the Ozarks CVB sponsors the Fall Harbor Hop as well as the Spring Harbor Hop held the second weekend in October to extend the fall boating season. Other sponsors include the Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association and Waterfront Restaurants.
