to know that there are really amazing, really kind, and really FABULOUS people in the world. In case you do not recall, a few weeks ago I ran a contest called "A Fishy Tale" in honor of reaching 10,000 visitors here on my blog. You guys all posted your SUPER AWESOME fishy stories, and
http://www.random.org/ randomly selected a winner...who turned out to be InBassAngler (aka Derek).
After winning, Derek asked me to donate the majority of his prize to a local charity of my choice, and I came to you guys asking for suggestions. You gave me great feedback, and today I donated Derek's prize to the Big Brother/Big Sister Program here in Lincoln!!!
Last week, I called up the program and spoke to a super sweet lady named Melinda. She sent out some emails asking for any pair of big/little's that enjoyed outdoor time/fishing together, and got a great response!!!
This afternoon, I donated Derek's prize to Big Brother Kyle and Little Brother Paul who I am certain will put the products to good use...and as it turned out, Kyle is a tournament angler himself!!!
The Big Brother/Big Sister Program does such FABULOUS things for both the youth as "littles" and for the adults as "Bigs". It really made me happy to be able to give these guys some really great products from really great company's!!!
Thank you all so much for your suggestions and for participating in the contest. Thank you even more for reading my blog and for being such great outdoor friends!!!
Happy Fishing ~
