LSBA Outdoor Expo & Annual Awards Banquet
 

The LSBA's Outdoor Expo & Annual Awards Banquet will be Saturday, June 7th; at the Brazos Center in Bryan. The Banquet is dedicated to Ty Patterson and Justin Hurst, the two Game Wardens that lost their lives in the line of duty in 2007 and the LSBA will be presenting their families with plaques.

Steve McKinney, formerly of the Houston Texans, Aggie Alumni and an avid bowhunter will be the guest speaker at the Annual Awards Banquet. Exit 110 will provide entertainment during Social Hour and will be on hand at the Expo with the new CD available for purchase. They are donating $5.00 of every CD sold at the Expo back to the LSBA!
