The First Annual National Brian Sowers Legacy CRAPPIE Tournament and Scholarship Dinner will take place in East Texas on October 4 and 5.
Brian Sowers, the words of Crappie fish, was well-known by anglers because he ran tournaments all over the US. He was renowned for saying to children,” Give a Child a Box, No an X-Box,” and to parents,” Get outside and produce memories” by sharing his favourite fishing passion with younger generations.
Partnering with Crappie Anglers of Texas, Crappie Masters, Marion County Commissioners Court and Patterson Pest Patrol, we are hosting in his honor, the first national monthly game. Holidays begin on Friday, October 4th with a meal at the Jefferson Institute. We call it” Group FOR A PURPOSE”.
