BIG Congratulations to Tom for putting on a GREAT 1st Fishing Flea Market ........ That was alot of work and he did it !!!!!!!!!! It was a great success for a first flea market ........... had more traffic than I expected and I sold and bought more than I expected ....... even had to break out the check book ........ had about $90 in sales and spent over $300 in bargains .......... Got an H Bar, a knife set, Thule Stacker and a bunch of other stuff ....... sold all the cork, eyes, scotty mounts and rattletraps I brought as well as a bunch of jigheads and hot lips etc .........

I know I had a blast seeing all you guys and meeting some of the newer guys .......... I know Lou had a good time and liked meeting you guys .......

I think I over did it though ......... after being sick all week, I came home exhausted .......... gotta unpack today .......

Great seeing you guys ......... and Thanks to you Tom ......... Great Job !!!!!

Thank You guys for the kind words but this was a group success. I simply had a little sweat equity and it all paid off. I was just blessed to have such a great group of guys helping to spread the word. I just posted something on the Swap Meet link for everyone to check out. I've been advised NOT to post the total amount on line but will be at the meet and greet on saturday morning to show everyone a copy of the check. I cant believe the total myself. WAY TO GO MKF, GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!! Sorry I won't be on the water as I have to tie flys at BassPro for Kids weekend. MKF is blessed to have such a great Leadership team ( I guess thats appropriate to call Grilled Sardine) and the rest of the guys that made such an Awesome Gesture to donate all the funds that would have gone to this forum to give all of it to HOW. I just hope everyone can muster enough energy to share your time with some wounded heroes coming out fishing with us. I hope to have the chapter all set to operate by May 1 2012. That is whee the true challenge begins.
Thanks again to EVERYONE for all the help and yes the Firehouse sold out of Beef, (about 500lbs) as well as 200lbs of ham and turkey. We do every other weekend. So if you want some good beef ham or Turkey, come back in two weeks.
Thank You all
Tom
