On August 5th and 6th, the Hiwassee Chapter of Trout Unlimted in cooperation with the Etowah Merchant's Association is having the First Annual Etowah Fishing Expo. The expo will have demonstrations, vendors, crafts, food, entertainment, and more. Money made by TU will go towards continuing the Hiwassee Chapter's First Cast and their new Trout in the Classroom programs.

To help fund the Fishing Expo event, they will have a fish fry on Saturday the 24th of  June between 11 AM and 3 PM at the L&N Railroad Depot in Etowah, TN. This fish fry goes along with Etowah's Centenial Parade and celebration. Cost is $6 per plate. We'll have tickets available at our chapter's meeting.

They need help running their fish fry. They need concession workers, runners, and anything else that comes up. Laura and I are planning on volunteering.  If you are interested in helping, contact Don Denny at  423-478-5451 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
