Butch Hall was a 2000 Uniontown High School graduate, who  was killed in Afganistan in 2004.

His family and friends are hosting a pond hopping bass tournament in his honor that not only supports our small community, but will also raise money for a newly founded charity called the Bourbon County Angels.

In 2020, the Angels helped over 75 Bourbon County families put gifts under the Christmas tree.

Sponsors are listed on the flyer and the t-shirts.

T-shirts are available to purchase online until and including the day of the event.

The event will be located at Union Station, Uniontown’s convenience store, where they will be hosting a beer garden.

They have also purchased pork from Bronson Locker that will be smoked by Chuck Weyant and served on the day of the event.

All proceeds from the pulled pork sandwiches will go to the Bourbon County Angels along with 50% of the tournament registration fees.

Tournament participants must check-in at 6:00 am at Union Station and return for the weigh-in at 3:00 pm.

Limit of 3 people per team.

$20 per person to enter. All ages welcome.

Biggest bass and heaviest stringer per team. There will also be a $5 big bass pot.

Fish must be alive at weigh-in.

Butch’s family has donated individual trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams and one for the biggest bass.

Donated prize drawings will be held after the weigh-in. Find the latest information on the Facebook event page Butch Hall Memorial Fishing Tournament.
