BassMasters are Here!

Finishing touches were being made Wednesday on asphalt paving at North Beach, site of the Sooner Run Top 100 Bassmasters event this weekend. Top prize is $100,000.

Boats will be launched out of Red Arrow Marina and the 16th street city boat ramp.

Rain on Tuesday muddied up some of the plans, with the big Expo tent being moved down the hill towards the lake, and some parking disabled due to mud.
A large parking area that was to be graveled came into conflict with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which ruled the temporary lot was below the 757 elevation and could not be graveled.
Visitors should follow the signs for parking and take direction from Grove Police and Delaware County Sheriff's officials.

A new road has been built at Cherokee and Third Street to afford access to Cherokee without troublesome turns. Several thousand spectators are expected to jam the area Friday at 3 p.m. with the first weigh-in event; Saturday and Sunday it's party time in the Expo Tent from 1-6.
