Steel City Members,
Covid-19 has forced us to cancel 4 of our tournaments and the board members have been meeting regularly via conference call to address the situation since it all began.
Earlier this week we were able to put the Crab Orchard tournament back on the schedule with Social distancing guidelines in place.
As we all know, Covid-19 has impacted many small businesses across the country. One business in particular is Lakeview Lodge at Pomme de Terre. Tournament cancellations have caused a huge deficit for them. This is compounded by the fact that Pomme was flooded for much of the 2019 season causing a lot of cancellations.
Pomme de Terre is a very special tournament location for Steel City and in an effort to assist the businesses around the lake, the board has decided to make an emergency schedule change.
The July 25, 2020 tournament scheduled for the Cumberland River in Paducah, KY has been moved to Pomme de Terre for a 2-day event on July 25 and 26.
One comment during the board meeting was “We can either spend our money at the Motel 6 in Paducah or spend it to help our friends that are really impacted by the shutdown.”
I agree with that sentiment.
So, mark your calendars with the change listed above. We will get updated flyers out on the website very soon.
Feel free to contact the lodging of your choice at Pomme de Terre. I am recommending Lakeview Lodge at 417-745-6485. They have plenty of openings and it would be great to see us fill every room.
Larry Heagy President of the Steel City Bassmasters
