Local teams of bass anglers flocked to the Potomac River in Brunswick on Saturday, February 27, 2010 to participate in the 2nd Annual St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Bass Tournament to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital hosted by 2 Rivers Guide Service, Smoketown Bait & Tackle & WFRE, which raised $1553 from the anglers and 50/50 raffle with JTNS concessions donation forthcoming, which will help benefit the young patients of St. Jude.
