Cherokee Yacht Club on South Grand Lake will host Casino Night 2008 during Grand Lake Welcome Back Weekend, Saturday, March 1st at 7 p.m.
For those of you who enjoy “The rest of the story”, here is the history on the origin of Welcome Back Weekend. This event was started in March of 1992, by Terry Frost, Owner of Cherokee Yacht Club. The weekend originally started with a poker run on Saturday and the showing of the hands on Sunday. Grand Lakers' Terry Frost and the late Barbara Connor came up with the idea of incorporating a Chamber sponsored “Casino Night”, which became an instant success.
The idea behind Welcome Back Weekend is to get you back on the lake so you can enjoy Grand Lake more of the year. The event is not just a party anymore; it has come to signify the beginning of boating season on Grand Lake.
The professionals will bring in Vegas style Black Jack, Craps and Roulette as well as entertainment provided by Left On Harvard, a Grand Lake Favorite! We will have a silent auction, and a live auction conducted by JB Robison Auctions, beginning at 9 p.m.
For all of you who participate in the poker run during the day, admission to the event gets you one wild card to add to your other five cards. You have to come to the event to receive the card, so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to complete your winning hand at Casino Night 2008.
We will have Vegas Style Show Girls, games, live music, wild cards, live and silent auction and a GREAT TIME. Write down the date, March 1st, Cherokee Yacht Club at 7 p.m. Plan on a weekend full of Grand Lake fun!! Please call 782-3214 for more information
