Orillia kids fishing derby report

[Island Jay]

Well that is definitely something I will do again and again for the years to come.
Although there were no fish caught this year it was a great success and a great learning experience.
A huge thanks to auger and his family for all their help

Misfish, those sticks worked great but I had an overflow of kids so I think I better put an order in now for next year

Also a great thanks to Yankee for his American support and generous donation. Maybe next year you could come up and get on the ice 

Thanks also to the surprise visit from Get hooked from F.O.and also for the great gifts for the kids

Last but not least thanks Walleyedreamer for the help and it was good to see you bring the family up to get in on some of the carnival action

Oh yeah and thanks to Icepick for all the help and for keeping good conversations up with the single moms out there
 

I would also like to thank the  local sponsors that kicked in a bunch of advertising, prizes, money and drinks for the kids. With all the support I received on this I predict a much better one next year.
Thanks to
