Alabama Bass Trail's New Tournament Series Kicks off





FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Kay Donaldson, Program Director
PHONE: 256.350.3500 / 855.9FISHAL
Alabama Bass Trail's New Tournament Series Kicks off February 1 on Lake Guntersville

Decatur, Ala. (January 8, 2014) - On February 1, 2014, the Alabama Bass Trail Tournament Series gets underway on Lake Guntersville where a guaranteed first place prize of $10,000 is up for grabs. Hosted by the Marshall County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the tournament is bringing in 400 amateur anglers from across the southeastern United States and is expected to generate an approximate $500,000 economic impact for Guntersville and Marshall County.

Lake Guntersville will host the first stop of the Alabama Bass Trail Tournament Series, a team-style tournament series sanctioned by BASS (Bass Anglers Sportsman Society). Registration for the first tournament is full at 200 boats and 400 anglers. Registration and briefing will take place at the Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, January 31.

Takeoff is set for approximately 7 a.m. and weigh-in begins at 3 p.m. at the boat ramp in Lake Guntersville State Park. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public.

During the launch tournament, Anglers Channel will be filming an episode to be aired at a later broadcast that will be shown in over 40 markets reaching a viewership of over eight million households. Official tournament director is Fishlife and Elite Outdoors Media will provide fishing fans with live streaming coverage.

According to Alabama Bass Trail's Program Director Kay Donaldson, each tournament is expected to pump an estimated $500,000 into the local economy of the host city. "Anglers typically pre-fish, or scout a location, three or four days prior to a tournament, and during this time, they visit restaurants, gas stations, and tackle shops. While competing in a tournament, anglers spend approximately $300 each day on accommodations, gasoline, food and other supplies," stated Donaldson.

The tournament trail features two divisions: Northern and Southern. Each division is made up of five tournaments on five different lakes. Maximum number of boats is 200 and each tournament will have a $10,000 guaranteed first place prize and will pay 20 places.

For immediate release

Athens State to Host Folklife Expert for Black History Month

ATHENS, Ala. - In celebration of Black History Month, Athens State University will host a lecture by Joyce Cauthen, Director Emeritus of the Alabama Folklife Association. Cauthen will speak Tuesday, February 11 at 7:00 p.m. in Room 104 of the Classroom Building. The Classroom Building is located across from the Library on Pryor Street on the north side of campus.

Cauthen’s presentation, entitled Fiddlers, Banjo Players and Strawbeaters: Alabama’s First Pop Musicians, will discuss the pivotal role played by African Americans in developing the music at the roots of today’s bluegrass and country music. She and her husband Jim Cauthen will demonstrate use of the banjo, “straws” (a technique in which broom straws or knitting needles were beat on the strings as the fiddler played) and guitar in backing up the fiddle. The audience will hear musical styles and tunes that are seldom heard today—and will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their perceptions of the differences in this music and the modern country music that are based upon it.

“This topic focuses on the history of African American achievement in the development of an unexpected genre of music, and with Athens State’s history as the host of the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention I feel it will have a broad appeal,” states Sarah McAbee, Athens State’s Vice President for Enrollment and Student Services. “Ms. Cauthen will be an excellent and informative speaker for our students, faculty, and for the community.”

In 2011, Cauthen was honored by the Alabama State Council on the Arts with a Governor's Arts Award. The Cauthens live in Birmingham, Alabama. In their spare time they play in two old-time string bands, Red Mountain and Flying Jenny.

The lecture is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by The Alabama Humanities Foundation’s Road Scholar Speakers Bureau. The Road Scholars Speakers Bureau provides public presentations and lectures on a variety of humanities topics. Designed to educate and entertain, the programs are presented by Alabama’s most enlightening university and independent scholars.
