“We’re really glad that this tournament continues to grow every year” noted MTAR Board Member and Tournament Chairman Mark Messick of Weichert Realtors Joe Orr & Associates in Tullahoma. “Over the last six years, people have started to talk about what we’re doing here with this tournament, both in how we’re helping local causes and in the way that we’re putting on a fun, quality event. People take home prizes, they get some great food, and have a fun time throughout. I’m proud of what this tournament has become, and I’m excited about how it’ll continue to only get better.”
