Striped
Bass Tournament & Block Party
May 4, 2008
Each year a multitude of fishermen from around the
world make their way to the City of Troy to fish for
striped bass in the Hudson River. This tournament
provides even more exposure for the great resource
we have in the Hudson River. It is an asset with which
our local cities were built, and an asset that
thousands of people continue to use each year.

party will be held on May

block party kicking off at 4pm. This year a portion
of
the entry fee will be donated to MILITARY MOM
IN
ACTION, a
Rensselaer
County Mothers
Group that sends packages to our military men & women
over seas.
