Cedar Creek Veterans Foundation White Bass Tournament June 26 - 05/16/21 02:08 AM

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
Third Annual Cedar Creek White Bass Tournament

On June 26, the THIRD ANNUAL CEDAR CREEK VETERANS FOUNDATION (“CCVF”) white bass tournament will be held. It will be an individual tournament with categories for adults and children. Children ages eight to twelve may register in either the Children’s Division or the Adult Division but not both. If they register in the Adult Division, they will be required to pay the $50.00 adult registration fee. The location is Cedar Creek Lake at Log Cabin boat ramp and grounds.

COVID-19 considerations: Masks will not be required – it is your choice. We will have a live auction this year, but it will be shortened in number of items from two years ago. Like last October, a light lunch (hotdogs, chips, and canned/bottled drink) will be served. It will be your choice to stay in your boats to wait your weigh-in turn or come up to the weigh-in station and wait in line. Make sure you get a weigh-in number when you arrive, then wait in your boat if you wish. Also, it will be your choice to eat lunch in the campgrounds or in your boat. The live auction and prize awards will be on the campgrounds near the weigh-in station.

In addition to promoting family fun through fishing and just being in the great outdoors, the “HOOKED ON VETERANS” white bass tournament is to raise money for CCVF. This is the organization which also supports the Cedar Creek community and raises money through the annual 4th Of July Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake Air Show. CCVF’s mission is to honor the courageous men and women who have served to protect our freedoms by providing financial support for those agencies responsible for their care and nurture. The three beneficiaries supported by CCVF are CampV, Tyler, Fisher House and Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. CCVF is a 501c3 and is led by an all-volunteer team of Board of Directors and Officers. All proceeds from their fundraisers go to support these charities.

I didn't find the rules posted at the web address link in the post. Only notification of the event.

When can we expect the rules to be posted?

Also, for those who will be traveling and will need overnight stay, is there a place that is providing a discount for those registered with the tournament?

Is Kammans still open and have rooms to rent?
It's been a long time since I've been there. If they are still open, do they have a # or do you reserve that through the gas station on the corner?


Looking for a place to stay. If not Kammans, any locals have a recommendation?
