The East Texas Chapter’s Dutch Oven Fundraiser was a big success with over 200 folks in attendance!
A variety of tasty fare was prepared on-site by the Tyler Dogwood Dutch Oven Cookers. Using Dutch ovens only, they prepared chili’s and stews, beans, chicken pot pie, cinnamon rolls and assorted cobblers – yum.
While everything was cooking up, folks participated in archery, fishing, bag toss, and various games, along with a bounce house. In addition, there was an archery contest at the indoor range at Gander Mountain in Tyler. Everyone had fun and the food was terrific! Great prizes included a Yeti cooler, 26″ flat screen TV, hog hunt and Gander Mountain gift certificates.

Thanks to event sponsors: Gander Mountain, Preferred Home Medical, Realife Taxidermy, Shogun of Japan, Super Lube, Power Outdoors and 360 Fitness.

Turning POINT’s 20th Annual Junior’s Fishing Tournament at Bass Pro Shops Garland was a huge success. Many fish were caught with the biggest being a buffalo at 26 inches. It was a beautiful day on Lake Ray Hubbard and the great folks at Bass Pro Shops chummed and baited the dock for us all week. Turning POINT juniors reaped the benefit as the fishing was hot on the dock too! Thanks to our many volunteer boat drivers who took kids out on their choice of pontoon boat or bass boat for a well-rounded fishing experience. Those who registered early got a $20 gift certificate for some last minute tackle. The Fishing Workshop hosted by Bass Pro Shops got everyone prepared to rig and use use their new Zebco rod and reel and cued them in on tips for successful fishing on Lake Ray Hubbard.
Juniors, their families, and Turning POINT friends gathered after the tournament for the Awards Dinner and Raffle. We gathered some great prizes this year – thanks to generous sponsors! And there was no shortage of contestants to win prizes; thanks to all who participated in the raffle. Camp Craig Allen did the cooking for us and served up some bodacious BBQ and burgers.
Thanks to all Juniors who participated, to all volunteers, to Bass Pro Shops and all our sponsors for making this 20th Annual Juniors Tournament a terrific day for all involved.
