2006 TOURNAMENT ART UNVEILED
Steve Goione has once again upheld his reputation as one of the most sought after tournament artists with his original illustration for the 2006 Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic. As always, Steve's artwork is featured on the tournament program and merchandise.

This year, in addition to the traditional blue marlin, Steve has included one of the marlin's (and ours!) favorite snacks—the tasty mahi mahi.

Another annual feature of Steve's artwork for the ECBC is the inclusion, somewhere in the illustration, of Sandestin's trademark sand dollar logo. When you pick up your team merchandise see if you can find it!
 
LAST UPDATE BEFORE TOURNAMENT STARTS!
With the tournament just three weeks away you can bet the ECBC staff is busy with final arrangements. "We're repeating many of the activities that were so successful last year, like the VIP Reception Cruise on Thursday evening, kids activities and fireworks on Saturday and the JumboTron display at the marina." said Shawna Meisner, Tournament Director. "But there is one difference," she said, "the food is even better this year!"

There's still time to get your entry in before the May 31st Early Bird deadline. The winner of the Early Bird drawing gets $1,000 plus free dockage at the Baytowne Marina during tournament week. Call or email Shawna Meisner at 866.505.4458 if you have any questions or need help with room reservations or dockage. 2006 Entry Form
