I will be donating 10% of sales from today until January 2013. We are a brand new online store so it may not be very much, but i think that it is important for the kids to have these mentors to teach them the enjoyment of the outdoors when they wouldnt normally have the chance. So, if you need some fishing gear or a christmas present for someone else and want to support this event, then check us out.

Thank you everyone. alot of offers of goods coming in via pm's. some very vital components to the events success. I will let them post their offers incase they want to remain anonomous.

as we sit our volunteer list is near full, we have a couple larger groups of people commited to attend. Thanks to the calgary strike force police dept and to my daughter.

1 idea we are discussing in the directors discussion is the possibilty of getting hoodies for the children. Some kids were not dressed properly last year. Which is NO ones fault.

Would the public be interested in sponsoring a child by buying them a fishing hoody? Shimano, Rapala etc etc. If we buy medium or large sizes they can go over whatever the chikd is wearing. Yes the company logo ones arent cheap but they will make a nice take home gift for the kids.

The other option is I contact the tackle companies to see if we can get a break on costs and collect money....something im not totally keen on as it makes people question my doings.

This may also limit the amount of what they will donate if they are supplying hoodies at a discount, which is why we asked about the volunteer prize table.

I feel very strongly that the childs comfort is of high priority

Im in for a hoody, I think thats another great idea.

I might suggest having a custom hoodie made for the event. Get your own design have it put on a hoodie. Make new hoodies every year updating the date. Assuming this will continue to happen every year. It would likely cost less then a Shimano hoodie, last year we got hoodies made for all shop employee's the price was 32$'s a hoodie for XL adults that was back and front design.

X2! What are the age group for kids? I can get some hoodies for a discount from NGAGE but the smallest is an adult small. I can pm you the pictures and price if you want

Are you offering to design the logo, pay for the hoodies or all of the above?

Made some calls today put on some miles this am........

Thanks BILL of The Fishin Hole......he has been a good friend of the event in its initial year and once again he has made a huge Hoody donation,,,,,,,,,we will seek other tackle companies for hoody sponsorship.

Just making a suggestion on what would be a less expensive route, that is unless one of the big companies wants to give a really good discount on hoodies. I just think it would be best to have your own design unique to this event every year.

If it comes down to it I could pay a graphic artist to make a design for the event, Find somewhere central to put the design on the hoodies and get a quote. As for paying for all the hoodies, well.. as charitable as I am, Xmas is approaching and well honestly I don' think I will be in the financial position to do any major spending afterwards until after February.

so what i got out of the old thread was, its basically a day where a bunch of us take less fortunate kids out fishing and teach them the ropes. with prizes and stuff to boot

The Fisherman Guy
10-30-2012, 10:57 PM
It's a day for the kids.

Many of us have not had someone to teach them how to fish; carefully, respectfully and responsibly while inciting enthusiasm for the sport. Providing the means and educating the relationship we all share in the resource is among the goals of this event.

Take a kid fishing, and fishing lives forever.

:thinking-006:

I very much appreciate your enthusiasm, and no one is more gratefull than me. but like i have corresponded with you previously its not a simple process. It takes some time and i truely am going as fast as i can, i can only push so hard and so far with every aspect of the event.

please bear with me, if we end up loosing your offer because of organizing delays I fully underrstand.If i answered your questions right now.....i'd would have to lie to you.

And just so your prepared Heating is a very delicate issue. Volumne of people , size of structure, safety personal on site, number of btu's. tent insurance coverage. county restrictions and a detailed plan of cause and result must be formatted and detailed incase of fire or wind. Yes a risk manager and underwrriter will examine the events plan. Depending on costs above the standard policy which i have paid already some riders and suppliments may just be to expensive to add to the policy. This is why im pushing the hoody issue so hard.....its the cheapest and safest way to keep the kids warm.
On the outside it may seem like we just call the clubs and the Hotdog company and poooooof we have a Ice Fishing Event, its far from the truth. Volunteers and Children on Ice in Rural Alberta= caution to the max.

i hope this explains a little to everyone

thank you for your support

Chubb, do you require any specific items at this point other than the Hoodies? I was thinking that if any specific items were required for the event, Members could volunteer to purchase or provide specific items.

BTW, if you require any running around for the event, let me know and I can probably act as courier for some tasks. I know that there is a LOT that goes on behind the scenes and would like to help out if I can.

You're a good Man for doing this Chubb. I know it ain't easy.

I just spoke with Chubbdarter and received an update on the event.

Our progress on the event continues, with a little under 3 months left until the big day.

Chubbdarter continues to fight the good fight, and lead the charge. We are all aware of his dedication and persistence to see this event become the best possible day for the kids. Unfortunately he can't go at it alone; success of the event is put at risk if we continue to proceed under this misnomer.

Chubbdarter has designated myself as event coordinator. I will be the point man for the event and will remain in contact with Chubbdarter on important issues pertaining to the success of the event. He remains our lead, and deserves our respect for rallying the troops to make this dream a reality.

If you need to get in touch with me, I am available by email: please PM me and I will provide you with my contact information.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.

Thank you all for your support and hard work. This event isn't possible without you and your dedicated cooperation.

Hi 303,

Thanks very much for your offer. Unfortunately, with the insurance that the event needs to carry in order for the Boys and Girls club to be able to participate, we need to submit a volunteer list and spares list well ahead of the event date. This date has already passed, so at this time we cannot accept any further volunteers for the day of the event without resubmitting our insurance application, which comes with significant cost.

On behalf of the planning team we sincerely appreciate your interest - and as this is the 2nd annual event, keep an eye open for next year's event if you would like to help out!

It was very nice to meet the north crew, and nice to see a few faces that I haven't crossed paths with since last year.

Been up for 20+ hrs and am thinking about how well the event went, not how bloody tired I am!!!

Was amazing!!!

Amazing was the only way I can think to put it. Best day i've had in a long time.

The kids were so much fun to be around, some took a while to open up but once they did there was no stopping them. The energy on the ice, hard to describe.

Great job to everyone, wonderful bunch of people. Chubb, you and your family went above and beyond, hats off to you. There were a few primary organizers that threw everything into the event, hats off to you as well.

Looking forward to round 3!

Wow...what a day it was! :sHa_shakeshout:

chubb & family and all the event organizers did an amazing job getting this all set up so the kids had an amazing day, and all the volunteers made sure that happened.

I don't know if I've ever seen so many happy kids running around out on the ice all at once, but I'm sure we'll be seeing it again next year!

Thanks to chubb for letting me get in on helping out with this event in my small way, and I look forward to making myself more useful when next year's event rolls around...I've already got the OK from Wifey to come out again! :)

First off Thank You Silverdoctor for the 300 dollar cheque to help offset expenses.


Take a bow folks , you put on a first class event. In the words of the Dimestore Fisherman TV series...."Ive never have i seen such a well done event anywhere in Alberta"

To all of you here on AO thank you for your generous support it truely made a difference in some childrens lives. Mooseknuckle your banners made us look so proffessional a pro tournanment would be jealous. Mr Anonymous you litterally made us legal and insured. Garry your jigs caught the kids many fish and One girlwolfpack your hoodies kept kids warm and cozy. Thats just to name a few of the people who contributed so gernerously.

Food and drink was good, weather was great and the Fish cooperated on cue.

All of you put on a grand event for the Children. Some of you travelled great distances to Give and Give. Volunteers from as far as Edmonton, Taber and Rolling Hills makes this event a provincilal affair.

When child tells you."I didnt know anyone cared about me this much " You can be certain you all made a real difference in a childs life.

Thank You to Silverdoctor, Horsetrader, Mikeo2, TCW/Family, and GL2 who litterally logged thousands of hours planning and financing this worthy cause.

Thank You Shimano, Zebco/Quantum, HT Enterprizes Inc. Your contribution was of epic porportions my friends. You will soon recieve the photo proof of beautiful children smiling like they just won the deed to willy wonkas factory.

TWH Oilfield Services, Cattlemens Corner and Fergs Septic Service, Thank You so m uch for proving the structures and facilities that make the TEAMFISHARD event center on the ice.

Books,final inventories and photo releases are being editted at this time. Once completeld the event will have closure for 2013. So in closing- THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING A BRILLIANT JOB IN MAKING A CHILD FEEL SPECIAL.

Sorry all for bringing this old thread alive again, but looking at the pics and the fun I had the last 2 years at this event, It is too bad that this tradition cannot continue and I will definately miss the kid's smiles and all the fun they had.

The fishing discussion has been minimal lately so thought I would bring this thread alive again..LOL:)

Yes Garth...

It is unfortunate.....I really enjoyed it and looked forward to an exciting day on the ice with all the kids and meeting people like yourself that can put huge smiles on some less fortunate kids that cannot experience the thrill of the outdoors in the cool air bringing fish up though a hole in the ice:sHa_shakeshout:
