Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 ok folks, it's that time again!! This is an open invite anyone who wants to come shake that cabin fever off and help a great cause, all in one shot. Delainey Broggi is hosting the 2nd annual CFK Ice Out Tourney at Roger Williams Park in Providence RI!! We had a great day last year, raising $1000 for the CAST program in RI. The support from our "out of state" and "New comer" BassResourcers was really special to me and it was great to have you guys to my home state. Hopefully, we can get to meet some of our new friends from Mass and Conn. this yr as well. I have room for 1 at my place if anyone is interested. I can sleep 2 more with an air mattress, first come, first serve. Craig,....bring some "breath rights" or duct tape,...either or. (the boy can snore! lol) All the money raised goes to the CAST program here in RI. With UPS helping out with the cost this year, some of the extra money will be used to make the day "better". Not bigger, just better. We are very comfortable with the size of the event as it is and will be looking to really make the day that much more special for the kids with more tackle, better goodies and some great surprises to make their day all it could possibly be. The rest of the money will also go to support our little side project we have started called "Alumni Day" where we take kids from the past events, every year, for another day of fishing but this time, we go to the state hatchery for a full day of Biology lessons, fishing and water safety. Our goal with this is to not only provide a yearly refresher course for everyone but to have the kids from previous events, eventually be a part of the events in yrs to come. We want to bring the program full circle. This money allows us the means to do so!! Again, on behalf of Delainey and myself, and all the kids you guys help out,....THANKS for your support and we'll be seeing you SOON!!!

Dean Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Sounds cool, and I have a few questions. How many people did you get in last year's event? And does this take place at the Roger Williams Pond in RI? One more thing lol, should we pay the entry fee ahead by mailing the money,or pay at the ramp? Quote

Super User Alpster Posted February 13, 2008 Super User Posted February 13, 2008 Russ, I will make it down if I can. I will need a place to hole up the night before. I can sleep in the BassBuss if there is a place to plug it in. Ronnie Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Dude, you're unbelievable. I'd rather have you strap on the winter leathers and make a nice spring ride up on the bike and let us provide the roof and fishing gear. If you really want to Bass Buss it, we can plug you in anywhere though. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 13, 2008 Super User Posted February 13, 2008 I'd rather have you strap on the winter leathers and make a nice spring ride up on the bike and let us provide the roof and fishing gear. I would rather travel on the bike too. If you guys can hook me up with a place to stay & a boat to fish from, I have no problem bringing fishing gear on the Wing. Ronnie Quote
