In each county, participants will pick up a card and a clue to lead them to find a playing card to build their hand. All participants will begin and end at Lake Dardanelle State Park in Russellville. All cards will be in sealed envelopes. At the end of the game, each team will have seven cards and must select two envelopes to be discarded in order to end the game with five cards. The envelopes will be opened in front of judges to determine the winning hands.
Teams can consist of an individual or two or more people.
Teams will play with one hand of seven cards. More than one individual or team may ride in the same vehicles with each maintaining his own hand. Some of the venues participants will see on the way include the Museum of Automobiles atop Petit Jean State Park, Heifer Project International and Potts Inn, an old building that was a stagecoach stop on the Butterfield Stagecoach route. The inn is now a restored museum. We think it will be a real fun day for individuals and families as well as for clubs, organizations and groups, says Betty LaGrone, president of the Arkansas River Valley Tri-Peaks Region Board of Directors.
