FLW Tour Event – 2010 Chevy Open – Hot Springs, AR

Smith’s participated in the fourth stop on the FLW tour over the Memorial Day weekend, the 2010 Chevy Open in beautiful Hot Springs, Arkansas.  The event was a 3 day tournament with more than 137 participants that came down to just 5 professionals fishing for the $125,000 grand prize.  In the end, National Guard pro Brent Ehrler proudly displayed his first place check for winning the 2010 Chevy Open, but Brent wasn’t the only person having a good time for the weekend.  Thousands of adults and kids of all ages were treated to one of the best events of the year, the FLW Family Fun Zone.  With a casting pool, trout fishing pond, boat simulators, surf boards, climbing walls, and a ropes course, there was plenty to do and enjoy.

Smith’s participated in the Family Fun Zone with a 20’ x 10’ booth of knife, tool, and scissors sharpening products.  “Being a hometown vendor, it was nice to support such a great family event and sell a few sharpeners too,” said Richard Smith, President.  Smith’s was one of twenty or so vendors to setup shop inside the Hot Springs Convention Center, but one of only a few that were from the local area.
