Living up to their slogan "More Than Just A Golf Tournament", another great event is being planned by 18 Fore Life team. The group has added a new twist to their lineup of charity events with THE BEN KRUSE Charity Crappie Tournament.

The tournament will be held on Saturday, September 10th, from 7:00 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. at Wappapello Lake. Teams are encouraged to get entered early to join in the fun. Weigh-ins will be held at Redman Creek and all participants must be in line by 3:00 P.M. to qualify.

Entry fee for the tournament will be $100 per boat, which includes a $10 entry for the "Big Fish" contest. Your entry will provide a 50% donation to the 18 Fore Life charity and the remaining fees will be divided 70/30 between the winner of the two largest crappie of the day.

"It will be a fun-filled day," said Beth Fowler of Allen Christian Inc. "So even if you don't fish, you can come to Redman's & hang out with us."

Dane Bess is one of the key organizers of the event and simply had a desire to get involved with the 18 Fore Life charity. He has followed his passion to add fishing to the charities' sponsored events, along with bowling and golf tournaments.

The group also will be selling raffle tickets for the opportunity to win one of two prizes: a Cajun Fryer and a Smokin' Cajun Grill will be offered. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $5.00 each, or 3 tickets for $10.00. The drawing will be held Sept 10th at the tournament; you need not be present to win.

There will also be T-shirts available for purchase for $15 for the event, as well as pork loins. All proceeds from the event go to the 18 FORE Life charity.
[br> All members of the community are encouraged to join in the fishing contest, purchase raffle tickets, and get involved with helping event organizers.
