call it what you will...he is not definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for QB's that I would choose needing a FG or touchdown drive late in the game.
we are working on firming up the fish to be served but I doubt bass will be part of that! once we get that firmed up I'll update this thread with that info.
We're just days away from this exciting event!!! Many have sent in messages asking about parking and what to do when they arrive.
The image below shows where to park so come early and grab those parking spots that are nearest!!!
Once you arrive:
Come through the main entrance of the church (right by the handicap parking area) and register/check-in. Ticket sales will still be available at the door. For those that have purchased online, we will have your tickets in an envelope with your name on it. Just tell the good folks at the desk that you paid online and give them your name for your tickets.
Head straight for the vendors area!!! Don't pass up the chance of winning some truly awesome raffle prizes!!! And remember, we'll have additional raffle tickets on sale if you want to improve your chances of winning!
Check out the displays!! The main hall will be closed until dinner is ready to be served so this will be your chance to check out the boats, trucks, race car, and the TPWD poacher trailer!!
