The money raised at the 2006 OAU State Championship, Presented by Carr & Carr held on Grand Lake last year, went as a donation to help fund the new improvements to the facility on Eufaula’s Nichols point launch area. Specifically to supply re-bar and purchase concrete to put a floor in the lakeside weigh-in pavilion there so anglers and their families did not have to wade through mud and dirt to use the facility.
OAU announced last year this annual event would be hosted the weekend before the opening of muzzle-loading season each year as a static date in an effort to avoid as many conflicts as possible. No doubt with the tournament schedules we are lucky enough to have here in Oklahoma, the OAU State Championship, presented by Carr &Carr will likely “fall on top” of someone’s event. We apologize for that in advance, but there simply is not enough weekends left to choose from.
We hope
to see you all at Eufaula, come on out for some competition, some fun and help
