It’s time for music and fun on the lake this weekend. The Darryl Worley Tennessee River Run “Party on the Water” is Saturday, Aug. 31, from 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at Dry Creek Cove, with all proceeds benefiting The Darryl Worley Foundation.

We get moving early the next day and get to Pickwick Lock and Dam in about six hours. We have a 40 minute wait to up-lock the 57 feet and then enter Pickwick Lake. Right before the marina there is a location on the lake where, geographically, you are in three states at once; Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Pickwick Lake Poker Runs
Lasting the entirety of a five day weekend, spanning from Thursday to Monday, hundreds gathered in Pickwick Lake, Tennessee in Memoriam for Carey Downs and Jeremie Floyd, two well-known and well-loved community members that were taken from us too soon in a boating accident last year. Friends, family, locals and people from out of state trekked in to pay their respects and check out the event. Respects were duly paid; from raising of the glasses at one of their stomping grounds, Freddy T’s, to the raising of a 16 foot, 2+ ton cross in their honor, nobody could deny it was an amazing and worthy event. According to Jeremie’s wife, Marsha Floyd, the poker run ended up raising over $106,000 for the Darryl Worley Foundation, some of which is to be donated to trusts for Downs and Floyds’ children. Even though it was an emotionally trying weekend, it “was full of reminiscing and smiles” according to Greg Harris, a longtime friend of Downs.
