The 2006 MSSF Benefit

Dardanelle State Park was a
huge success!!! 71 teams

tournaments in one, as adult/minor
teams competed for a $1,500 1st

Short Scholarship Fund, which is Kevin and Kerry Short

Anglers - Fish this tournament next year. It's for a great cause and the fishing on
Dardanelle this time of year is awesome. Everything about the event was 1st class. It
is obvious that Kevin and Kerry worked their tails off
to organize this event. Their goal is to get at least 100 boats fishing this tournament
annually. Let's help them reach that goal....
