                   Appreciation Party                                                                    

 

Prizes were awarded to our gage readers and a good time was had by all. The party was hosted at Adventures Unlimited Campground at the Ocoee.

By all the gage readings that were given by our gage readers this year we have correlated 6+ different watersheds this year. (We hope to expand the contest next year) Which lead to all of us getting more boating time in and better educated guess to what might be running. A special thanks to every one who read a gage and reported it to us!

 

We had a silent auction, raffle, and prizes given to game winners. Also schwag thrown to the crowd.

 

The party is also an appreciation to all the volunteers who help with the site and the users who use the site also.
