KIMBALL, Tenn. — The Bass Federation’s 2011 National Championship fishing tournament is coming to town.
Kimball had to put up $10,000 to secure the event, scheduled for April 12-16, but officials said they expect an estimated $300,000 in revenue during the four-day event.
“This event will mean a lot to our community and our local business,” Kimball Mayor David Jackson said. “The economic boost to our town will be unreal, especially with the downturn in the economy.”
Jackson said the actual fishing will take place on nearby Nickajack Lake and the town has a lot of work to do in the coming months to prepare for it.
