Thanks bsteves & Spot
« on: April 26, 2010, 09:19:32 am »
Thank you to bsteves and Spot for all your help at the Alder Creek Paddle Fest. Always invaluable.

We had great interest at the yakfishing clinics both days. Sunday was a steady stream of interest all day, as was Saturday. We couldn't have done it without you guys. I started the day with 60 fliers for the SJ yakfishing trip, and ended the day with 2!

Thank you!

We've had seven new members register over the weekend.  So I'm sure we also managed to garner some interest in NWKA as well.  I need to get a big NWKA banner for next year.

Sounds like I should have come back on Sunday, but I think my family appreciated my presence more.

Nice! It's impressive to see the growth in interest just in the last 3 years I've been doing the paddle fest.

1st year I talked with 20 people. 2nd year 50. 3rd year 200.

Happy to help out! 

I got to meet a couple of NWKA lurkers and ifishers.  There was definitely more interest this year. 

And, you're right Brian, NWKA needs a big banner for this event.  It could probably serve double duty as a marker for our tournaments also.

Anyone know a good place to get a banner made?  I kind of like the big flags (wind sails?) that stick in the ground.

Now that I've completely hijacked this thread...

Online banner places are quoting me about $80-$100 per banner for a 3' by 8' custom mesh banner using some of Zee's NWKA graphics.  Those fancy flag things are almost $200.

Sounds like a worthy investment of tournament fees.
