Waiting on a new date
- Shallow Sport Owners Tournament: the 2026 weekend ran May 7–9 at the Convention Center and Louie's Backyard. No 2027 dates appeared on the organizer's plan your weekend page as of September 2026, so watch for the announcement rather than assuming the same weekend returns. The 2026 running order is on fishing tournaments.
