Texas Council Expo 2016
The Texas Council is now entering our 4th year, and it is turning out to be our most
successful. With many members having just returned from the IFFF National Fair
and Awards ceremony, the Council is as strong as ever. We have a NEW Charter
Club in Lubbock that is off to a great start. We have an awesome partnership with
Texas Parks and Wildlife that is creating opportunities we never felt would open
up. Membership is at an all time high, and we continue to find quality leaders to
lead this organization in the next few years and beyond.
Oak Grove Park
This years “Destination Texas” expo has been moved from New Braunfels, to
Grapevine, Texas. A move we think will increase attendance and awareness to
what our council is doing. With four clubs here in North Texas, we should see our
highest attendance yet. This year’s expo has an amazing lineup of activities for all
to enjoy. Headliners for this year’s expo are very impressive. Kelly Galloup, Pat
Cohen, Jen Ripple, Molly Semenik, Fred Hannie, Chuck Easterling, Matt Bennett,
Stacy Lynn, Steve Hollensed, Kyle Hand, Bill Gammell and so many more!! Along
with tying, presentations, full schedule of casting classes, we have added a kayak
demo day as well. We will also be showing the IF4 Film at the welcoming dinner
Thursday, a BBQ Night with Kelly Galloup on Friday, our awards ceremony on
Saturday, along with a live, silent auction, and the BIG kayak raffle give away. There
will be additional classes for women and our youth. Check out the expo schedule
for all of the possibilities.
We hope you enjoy the expo this year, and support the mission of the Council
which is to educate, conserve, and fly fish the waters in the great state of Texas!!!!
See you next year!!!!!
