Show bring Great Outdoors inside

Bass Masters booth. The club’s tank of live largemouth
bass, behind Stratta, drew lots of envious spectators.
The Great Outdoors — and some ways to enjoy them — moved inside the
Brazos Center last weekend for the Second Annual Brazos Valley Boat and
Sport Show.
The show was organized by Bryan Marine owners Aden and Steve Crouch
as the local version of the monstrous sports galas held in San Antonio,
Houston and Dallas. The Brazos Valley show included everything from boats
and motorcycles to taxidermy and fishing dispiays.
Exhibitors offered the 3,000 or more spectators who browsed through the
show a chance to drool over new super-deluxe bass boats, to chat with old
friends or to find another excuse for having a good time.
