Lake of the Ozarks Shootout 2009, Friday
Finally, the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout 2009 weekend has officially started. Half of the Biokleen Team needs to head out early for the mandatory driver’s meeting at Franky and Louie’s at 9:30am. The Shootout Pokerrun is scheduled to start at 10:30am. It’s a cloudy, somewhat dreary morning and it has been unseasonably cool for late August at Lake of the Ozarks. The 2008 Shootout temperatures were in the mid to upper 90s, with the heat index roasting above that. This year we’re having temperatures in the mid 70s and 80s; which is great for standing by the water at a tradeshow booth all day, but not the ideal conditions for party cove, if you know what I mean.
It did clear up a little for the day, but there was also a batch or two of slight sprinkles. The pokerrun had six stops: 1.Big Dicks, 2.The Fish & Co., 3.Dog Days, 4.Captain’s Galley, 5.Captain Ron’s and last and final stop 6.Franky & Louie’s where they would announce the winners. Each team received a card to be punched at each stop. Once everybody is back at Franky & Louie’s, contestants will draw seven cards, playing the best five card hand. Pokerrun committee chair Don Sylva said last years pokerrun attracted 105 boats. Sylva and co-chair Connie Weyer, who along with her husband Dave owns Advantage Marine in Sunrise Beach, hope to have 150-175 boats at the 2009 Shootout Pokerrun.
Biokleen had the honor of a special passenger for the Poker Run, Tamara, Miss Missouri. She was also kind enough to visit us back at the booth and give a helping hand. Be sure to vote for Tamara for Miss America.
Joy Schou and the crew from the Platinum Powerboat Club shacked up with us in the biokleen booth to sell T shirts for the Platinum Shootout Beach Bash that evening. Proceeds from the event support the areas local boy scouts. There’s also live music and free food and drink for attendees. The booth went extremely well for us to get the weekend started. After getting the booth closed up, it’s time to head to Franky & Louie’s to get our last cards and see who the winners are. Then back to Captain Ron’s for the Platinum Beach Bash. Tomorrow: everyone fires up their engines pursuing Top Gun status.
