Hello Mesmerize. It was never my intention to smear the good name of your organization, or to denigrate the good work that your club does. I was only giving a friendly heads up to any AO members to do a little research before sending money. This is a new tourney (to me anyways), from a very new member.
I really miss the tourney's we use to have all over AB in the 80's and 90's. Even though you will be facing a lot of competition from other activities that occur on that free fishing weekend for all Albertan's, I really hope you have a good turnout and try to make this an annual affair.
With the thought of this tourney become an annual event, i would be happy to donate a door/raffle prize that will be worth aprox. 50.00. I invite any other member to donate whatever they could to help make this family fishing fun derby a success.
Personally,I was planning on bringing my grandson to his first fun derby at a closer location that has been hosted for years by another great organization but nothing wrong with trying to help you guys further south with yours.
