Lake Tawakoni is truly a hidden gem here in Texas. Only an hour away from the DFW metroplex, on any given weekend there might be a grand total of 6 boats on the entire lake. In 2001, the Texas Legislature declared West Tawakoni the "Catfish Capital of Texas." Come discover this treasure for yourself. I have made some "Catfish Capital of Texas" T-shirts.

I grabbed some dry erase markers and turned them loose. Next they wanted to put them on the cars. Whatever. The first day I got so many compliments and asked about them so many times. Now I really do think that we get REALLY NOTICED more with the kids art on them. Our website hits skyrocketed. Anyway, you will definately notice as we drive around our North Texas area. Great job on our advertising - mini me's.
