Soda will be great ,it will be byob for that very reason , and just to warn the younger attendees I am not a hard*** but there is an incredible amount of liability involved with this event so I can not have any of ya drinkin . As far as the cost of this party it has been distributed between my employer and I with much help on the prize front from Ryan 808, Tomriker , and Colby P. What I would like only from those who can afford it will be cash donations, to help a fellow OFF member honor her Grandmother ,and mother by participating in the Susan Kowman breast cancer 3 day walk for the cure this Sept in Seattle Wa think you all know her Jeanna Jigs, a box will be provided to collect them at the event. My reward is to get to meet a bunch of new folks, and fish again with those I have already met who share the same passion for angling as me. You will notice that with a few family exceptions all the attendees will be active forum members , this is my way of saying thanks for participating in the best fishing forum in the northwest ,and by participating people will enjoy oppertunities that well non members will miss out on. Would also like to add that this years turnout looks to be at capacity with only 1 person yet to confirm , and that those attending this years event will have a reserved slot for next years if they wish . Thanks for the overwhelming interest last check on the weather report says we are in for at least a dry day 62 deg partly cloudy lets hope the fish cooperate should be a fun get together.
