The winning fish will be based on their length. For $25 or less, you can participate in this tournament. Also, your parking pass to Smith Mountain Lake State Park, on the days of the tournament, will be free if you mention that you are visiting because of the tournament.
Support the Bedford Hospice House
All proceeds of this tournament will benefit the Centra Hospice House in Bedford. The house was built by the community of Bedford and is operated by Centra Hospice. The house provides end-of-life care to those who do not have the means to receive proper care at home. No one is denied admission to the house due to inability to pay, and because of this, most of the care is funded by charity.
