'THANK YOU' FROM BASS CHAMPIONS On July 18th, Bass Champions held their Customer Appreciation Day & Fishing Derby, which included fishing, a DJ, karaoke, water slide, live music, some 'cool' cars, a slip-n-slide, and LOTS of good food! Michele & JL would like to say 'thank you' to all who came and participated in the activities of the day... and would like to extend a special 'thank you' to all those who helped make it happen... Buck-N-Bass, Candy's Lawn Service, Capp's Tree Service, David Burkhalter (BBQ), Bill & Shawn Fulghum (Karaoke), Girls-N-Guitars, Lake Kerr Bass Club, and the Marion County Fire Department for "cooling-off the crowd"! And, congratulations to Bob Blanton for holding the "winning" raffle ticket! -- We had a great time and hope to see everyone again next year.
