Ok guys I guess its about time . sorry its a little late but here goes!!
First off I would like to thank everyone for the great day, great times, great memmories. As some of you know this wasnt an easy thing to pull off but we did it, had fun, and all in all i would call it a sucess!! so thanks one and all it just would not have been possible without you!!
To start with we figured this to be a small affair and it was that but i think the weather and tough conditions kept alot of people away , but for the first time i was still pretty good and better than we had planned.
We collected $300 dollars in cash. thats $100 more than we had planned . so a little bonus there for sure!
Also we picked up a few other donations to sweeten the pot considerably so I would now like to thank thouse peole who helped contribute to the cause!!
Sheldon Hatch for building, and donating the winners plaque
Quinte outdoors sports donated a couple rod and reel outfits along with Tackle boxes . Thanks guys!!
G2 angling donated a half day guided trip for two in the next years ice season. thats a class act right there boys!!

So all said and done we really did pretty good with Cash and prizes totaling about $1000 or more and it was a good time had by all.
Tomorrow Landshark and myself will be meeting with the Officers at the Belleville police station to hand over the cash and prizes. there is talk of a little meeting with the press So watch the papers boys I think we at Quinte fishing.com can be proud of what we have done here, and looks like its gonna make the news in print sometime soon!
We had a plaque made that will hang in the belleville police station that Myself and Shark had made and its our donation for the cause. see pic below!
Also I made a little movie for all to enjoy Really wish we had more pictures but I think you will see the just of it all and know a fun Time was had by all!!!!!
