We might talk kind of Southern but we’re good folks, good country people.” “We want to show people what Anderson is about. “We’re trying to show the hardware and expose ourselves outside of the limits of the lake, and also bring some tourism to our city downtown,” said Todd Campbell, committee chair for the Hartwell Lake Poker Run. More than 200 boats-from high-performance to center-consoles-are expected for the expanded poker run that now includes a Thursday night street party in downtown Anderson, S.C. The Hartwell Lake Poker Run features boats from high-performance to center-consoles.
