Redfish Cup Plans Begin
Members of the Redfish Cup Committee met at Breton Sound Marina along with Steve Levi, the General Manager of Career Sports & Entertainment, which produces the Oh Boy! Oberto ESPN Redfish Cup Tournament. This year the tournament will be held in Hopedale August 15 through 17. St. Bernard Parish is one of the five stops selected to host the tournament where 49 teams of some of the best professional anglers from around the country will compete for a stake up to $2 million. The event will feature a “Tailgate Party” each day with local food, music, children’s activities, exhibits and free sports related promotional items. Returning again this year is the popular “Splash Dog” competition where dogs compete for the longest jump.
