The Toledo Bend Lake Association (TBLA) is pleased to announce the 16th Annual Bass Unlimited – Back a Great Fighter Poster Unveiling Gala and Auction at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, in the Grand Ballroom at Cypress Bend Resort on Toledo Bend.

The Unveiling Gala is open to the public. There is no admission charge. Refreshments will be served, and a cash bar will be available. The talented staff of Nichols will decorate the Grand Ballroom for this festive event.

This year’s poster is sponsored by Boise Cascade, located in Florien, LA. For more than 50 years Boise Cascade has been producing quality wood products in Sabine Parish. Boise is vital to Sabine Parish and the entire Toledo Bend area, providing jobs at the mill itself as well as many jobs in the timber industry across the state of Louisiana. Boise Cascade in Florien employs over 400 people, making a huge impact on our economy.

Larry Hataway of Boise Cascade plans to attend the Unveiling Gala on Thursday, April 5, when the original artwork, as well as the first numbered framed poster, will be auctioned by professional auctioneer Kevin McDonald. JoAnn Cason, this year’s artist, will be present to sign and personalize posters. Additionally, two pieces of original art by previous Bass Unlimited artists – Don Edwards and Eddie Pastureau, will also be auctioned the night of the Gala.

The signed and numbered 2018 Posters can be pre-ordered now, and will be available for pick up at the Poster Unveiling event. For more information and to order your print on line you can go to http://www.toledobendlakeassociation.com.
