THANK YOU from LOTSA

[Tim Bromund]

LOTSA wants to thank all of the Vendors and Participants that made our February Salmon Spectcular weekend a great success. Dave, Bill and Hunter from Best Chance Too ran an excellent clinic on Saturday to a full house with people coming from as far away and Minnesota to attend. We all walked out with some new tricks to try on LO this year along with a tackle bag valued at $80. On Sunday we had great participation from many LOTSA volunteers throughout the day to take care of the 40+ Vendors that attended along with the 300+ show participants. Thanks to the many Vendors that brought lots of product with show special pricing. Thanks to Best Chance Too and Cold Steel (Tom Burke and Andy Bliss) for their seminars on Sunday. Special thanks to the following Vendors who donated their products for door prizes:

A-TOM-MIK MANUFACTURING

NORTHERN KING LURES

MOONSHINE LURES

CHAMBERLAIN DOWNRIGGER RELEASES

DREAMWEAVER LURES

PAY EVERY DAY DERBY

CAPTAIN'S COVE RESORT

MUSTAD HOOKS

BIG WEENIE BRAND

Best of all we raised $1,600 for our Niagara and Orleans County Pen Rearing Projects, bringing the 3 year total amount for Pen Rearing to $5,600. All of the Entrance Fees collected at the door of the EXPO are donated to our area Pen Projects to help keep them afloat.

For those of you into planning for future events, we plan to hold this event again next year on the last weekend of February.

i see one of the sponsers is the 1000/day derby. is that still looking like a go. haven't heard much about it lately but wouldn't want to miss out on anything.

Had to make a correction above, the correct name of the new derby is the Pay Every Day Derby, not the $1000 a Day Derby.
