Re: Winni Derby

Steve,
If he was the little boy that picked up his prize on Sunday...he got the biggest smile I had on my face the whole weekend. What a great little kid!

One of the boys in my group got the 3rd place salmon. He missed his prize Friday night because we showed up at 8:05 and they had just given away his prize but he got his rods on Sunday so all was well.

Great event again this year but participation looked WAY down. I have to wonder if next year they either cancel or drop prize quality (again) due to low participation. I think ultimately, this is a case where boycotting the Derby may have an immediate and perminant effect of the event. Too ad for those of us who enjoy the derby and the lakes region retailers who rely on our business but it's democracy in action so.....

Re: Winni Derby

If he is the same little guy I saw on Saturday night, that was awesome!! He seemed to proud to get up there when his name was called and the cheers and appluase. He was a bit embarrassed you can tell, but great seeing him up there!!

Re: Winni Derby

The little boy on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon was my son. Trust me when I tell you he loved the attention. Yes he was embarassed but he loved it. Trevor asked if we were going to do it again next year. Of course the answer was yes. I have fished this derby with my father for the past 24 years. The lake became a second home for my childhood, I have a feeling that I will passing on the traditions soon enough. Thank you to all who had kind words about Trevor.

Congratulations to the 3rd place fish as well. Fishing is a sport that gets passed down from generation to generation. It's all about the kids!
