| It is with deep regret that the Executive Board of Directors of the Texas International Fishing Tournament announced the cancellation of our 2008 event.
The Board received information from local officials on South Padre Island that restoration efforts that the SPI Convention Centre and full power and accommodations would not be available in time for our event- in spite of the best efforts of all. Hurricane Dolly's impact bruised and battered the Laguna Madre area and it will take some time for the area to recover fully. However, we are still alive and kicking and will be back with an even bigger and better tournament next year. The decision not to reschedule the tournament was based upon an uncertain timeline for power and infrastructure repairs and availability of key facilities as well as our participant's schedules. Please feel free to contact our Tournament Director, Betty Wells, for additional information. You can contact her at (956) 943-8438 by cell at (956) 561-1052; or by email at info@tift.org. Thank you for your continued support of our event. We look forward to seeing you next year at TIFT, July 29 - August 2, 2009. |
