In the beginning ...
The Llano Crawfish Open began in 1989 as the brainstorm of a group of Beaumont hunters
and local Llanoites. Over the years, a friendship began between the two groups and from
this friendship the Llano Crawfish Open was born. The idea was to have a golf tournament
and afterwards cook some "Crawfish" and Bar-B-Q. The two groups decided that
any money that was raised from the event would be used to purchase a motorized wheelchair
for a local man who suffered from M.S. After all was said and done, everyone had such a
good time that it was decided to do it again the next year.
As with all new events there
was a period of trial and error. Over the next few years the event grew larger than
anybody could have ever anticipated. The group became more focused in what their long-term
goal was and in what direction they wanted to go.
In setting this goal they all realized a very real need in the Llano County
area ... The Llano Special Opportunity Center, a facility for mentally and physically
challenged adults. Though the center receives a limited amount of funding from the state,
their needs are still great and the remainder must come from community funds. With this
in mind, the goal was clear. The Llano Crawfish Open would pledge to be an ongoing
supporter of the Llano Special Opportunity Center.
The Crawfish Open of 2003 was bigger and more
successful than ever. The Open was blessed with beautiful weather and loyal supporters
came out in full force.
