Bass Tournament Rescheduled

Jun 05, 2009 05:38 pmJune 27, 2009, is the new date for the First United Bank fishing tournament benefiting Durant Main Street. The tenth annual event was originally set for May 16, but the high waters on Lake Texoma caused it to be postponed. Those who enjoy bass fishing are encouraged to hook up to the boat and bring their gear to Alberta Creek on Lake Texoma.   The First Place winner is guaranteed $1000. The entry fee of $100 includes first and second big bass. A 50% payback is planned which could make for a worthwhile way to spend your Saturday.              This promises to be a first class event. Organizers from the Little Dixie Bass Club are assisting First United and the Durant Main Street Organization Committee with the tournament. Soft drinks and sandwiches will be served to participants after weigh-in.   Registration forms can be picked up at First United Bank, Durant Main Street, many convenience stores, bait shops, and sporting goods counters in the area. The form includes contest rules and regulations, and can also be obtained by calling 580-924-1550 or visiting www.durantmainstreet.org.
