The CCA Louisiana/Mercury Outboards/CITGO S.T.A.R. Awards Banquet held last night at the beautiful Live Oak Arabians in Baton Rouge was a huge success!

The 13^th annual event recognized all of this year's tournament winners as those second and third place winners received a plaque and the first place winners drove off towing their new boats.  

As in the past, the celebration included a great dinner open bar, entertainment, raffles, door prizes, silent and live auctions. Some live auction items include: international and local hunting and fishing trips, premium tackle and art.  

The featured auction item of the night 2007 Champion 22' Bay w/ 225 Mercury OptiMax, Trolling Motor, Lowrance and McClain Trailer, drew much attention.
