[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Treasure Coast Builders Association’s 29th Annual Memorial Weekend Fishing Tournament promises to be one of the best ever!  Pirates Cove Resort and Marina on the Manatee Pocket will host all of the tournament activities again this year. This year’s tournament Co-Chairman Julie Coker of Paradise Homes and Wendy Dittmar of Manning Building Supply and their committee are hard at work securing lots of great prizes that all of the participants have come to expect including a GM Silverado Crew Cab Truck valued at $35,000 sponsored by General Motors for the popular matching weight contest.
