Is the Mercury 150XL motor the grand prize for the March workshop ?... I'm buying 100 tickets

Congrats Ron on your new acquisition. You must be excited like a kid just before Christmas.

It's going to be a nice upgrade to your man cave.

Gerry

Thanks Gerry! First new boat in 27 years! Overdue. The 150 hp Mercury would make a nice door prize!

March 1st Workshop Agenda:

We have Ed the Hook and guest confirming a visit up here from Connecticut for March 1st! Nice to have a visitor from Connecticut represented for the first time at our seminars. Please welcome and meet Ed!

As of today I have 27 donators and plenty of donations for our free drawings.

Mike Wichrowski from the Vermont Fish n Game will be available to discuss the state of our access areas and answer questions at our March 1st seminar!

We will also have Keith Chamberlain to do a product demo and answer questions about his "Chamberlain Release". We will have a rigger demo on a table for Keith.

I have three framed Brook trout prints from Winter Originals to present to Andre "Wally Andre" / Randy "Surprise" / Bill "Popster" for outstanding dedication to our sport.

I may have my new 150 hp Mercury 4 stroke uncrated and on display in a tank to start and demo the troll control. TBD. Hopefully we can work out the set-up and logistics in time with 10 days to go.

Ron

Waves Spoons: The latest donation to our workshop. Thanks Pierre!

My 150 hp kicker motor will be on display to demo with the troll control at the workshop.

Great initiative Ron.

Fantastic night tonight! 55 in attendance! We had Ed the Hook come with a fishing friend all the way from Connecticut!

Big thanks goes out to: Kevin / Gerry / David / Andre / Fred / Ken / Bruce / Ken, and others who brought snacks and food way to numerous to mention. And my boss Jim who lent us the space for the 4 th year in a row!
