The Lincoln County Community Resource Council in conjunction with our staff at Lincoln Correctional Center are planning a Bass Tournament to raise funds for the North Carolina Special Olympics. The kids that participate in the Special Olympics are great kids and need our help. If you Bass fish or know someone the bass fishes, please pass the info to them. This is our first tournament and we want it to be great. We are also looking for some sponsors for this event and if you could help in any way it would be a big help.
If you need anything please call me at 704-735-0485.
If you need a entry form email me and I will send you one
