WH2, you are just happy cause you took second and got a killer prize!
In all truth, I hope all of you that were there realize how much work BLM put into that thing.
He purposely tried to make it look like it was a small time deal, and hopefully lots of you were surprised when he pulled out the stash of prizes, trophies, and all the goodies that everyone enjoyed.
But if you think about it, its enough work just to have to come up with a set of rules, and take entry fees, organoze your weigh in and round up some support.
But BLM took it to an entire level beyond that.
And he really did put in a lot of time and effort rounding up a couple hundred bucks in gift cretificates from sportsmans, donations from hooked, mainac, Lees marine, ect.
Plus made all the flags, put together all the gift bags and raffle, Got the trophies made up, and dealt with all the red tape issues of renting the pavilllion, ect.
He really put in a lot of work to surprise you guys and make it really big and really cool.
And I think it showed. I was impressed with the ability to pay out great awards to so many places and still have a great raffle at the end.
Also big thanks have to go out to the cooks. Old coot is a competition dutch oven guy and the beans and potatoes were excellent. Thanks to you guys for all your efforts as well, you guys all worked together to put on a killer event.
It was nice to see Tom Pettingill show up and share some wiper with us.
