hello Everyone :party0045:

I have referenced a few links to our GREAT Fishing Has No Boundaries event from the media. They did a WONDERFUL job of capturing the essence of our event!

If you care to purchase today's (August 29th-Wed.) issue of the Brainerd Dispatch, it has a few nice pictures and a VERY nice article in Section 1N. ALSO, you will find about 71 pictures they took at our event on their website. Click on this link:

KSAX (ABC in Alexandria) that aired this past Monday night can be viewed at:

And I know that Lakeland Public TV did a spot on Friday, August 24th on the 10:00 news. However, I can't get it to play at all. I know that Mike Wolan said they were having a few problems with it. Maybe someone else can get it to work. The link is at:

THANK YOU to EVERYONE for making this the GREATEST event EVER!!!!
