Johnny later called and wants to challenge all SBEA members to match his donation or any amount will be appreciated for repairs of the docks, Thank You again Johnny!
Protect All Your Trailers
With all the theft going on around town, now is the perfect time to protect your trailers. Stop by and check out the trailer locks on display that are for sale at the SBEA Lake store. CW Trailer Coupler Locks is donating the money on the first 2 locks sold to help with dock repairs. Visit their website at https://cwtrailerlocks.com/ and you can order other locks that we do not have in the lake store.
