Not as much talk about this kids tournament on Lake Limestone as was kids Towakani tournament this one is free. uhh

If you want to help out we do have a few kids that need help without a boat and driver

If you are planning on coming to this tournament with your kids, you may want to reserve your cabins at running branch 254-729-5474. There going quick.

There will also be plenty of good hot dogs and burgers for the kids. (If the cook don't burn em up.)

I dont think we have to worry about that, I know the cook, we have to worry about him eating all the food

Running Branch Marina still has a couple of cabins left. Better hurry they are going fast.
