A limited number of tickets still remain for the Fish Fry which kicks off the 3rd Annual Ty & Dave's Bobcat Summer Bash, benefiting Texas State University's baseball and football programs.
The all-you-can-eat fish fry will be held at the Texas Disposal System (TDS) Exotic Game Ranch and Pavilion in Creedmore with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and dinner being served beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The event continues Friday with Onion Creek Country Club in south Austin serving as host of the Bobcat Summer Bash Golf Tournament. That event is now a sellout.
Tickets for Thursday's fish fry are $40 and can be reserved by contacting the Texas State football office at (512) 245-2587.
In addition to the fish fry and complimentary drinks on Thursday, both silent and live auctions will take place during the evening. Items up for grab during the silent auction will be a 2005 Southland Conference championship ring as well as sports memorabilia items from athletes such as Roger Clemens, Jerry Rice and Zach Thomas.
Some of the items to be on the block for the live auction are listed below:
Join the Bobcats in Lexington, Ky., for Texas State's game against the Wildcats. The package will include trip travel, lodging, official coaching staff sideline gear, pre-game meal with the team, access to the team locker room and field passes during the game.
Guided buck hunt at the world-famous Y.O. Ranch. The package includes one night lodging, meals for two and one Axis buck during a two-day guided trophy Axis buck hunt. In addition to the hunt, the winner of the package and a guest will enjoy all the Y.O. Ranch's amenities including game room, bar, swimming pool, private lodge and home cooked meals.
New York and the Yankees. Chartwell's has provided four box seat tickets and four Yankee Club tickets to the Sept. 3 game against the Minnesota Twins during a series which could have playoff ramifications. In addition to tickets, the package comes with a season-ticket parking permit for the game. Continental Airlines is providing four tickets into Newark International Airport while hotel accommodations are provided by Collegiate Sports Travel.
Malcolm Farley original painting. Texas State has commissioned renowned celebrity/sports artist Malcolm Farley to paint an original which will be completed during Thursday's event. Farley has pained athletes such as Lance Armstrong and Dan Marino as well as celebrities such as the cast of the Sopranos and Carlos Santana. Farley has also provided a print for the silent auction.
Three-day, two-night bass fishing and dove hunting trip for two on Mexico's Lake Guerrero. Donated by John Grimsley, the package includes round-trip transportation from McAllen to the hunting fishing resort and deluxe accommodations at Hacienda Don Quixote in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. All meals are prepared by a professional chef and beverages include beer, margaritas and top shelf liquor. The trip includes four fishing sessions, licenses and a visa for each gues.

Ranger 10,000 AC Generator. 3D Welding has donated a Ranger 10,000 AC generator with 10,000 watts peak (9,000 watts continuous).
