Title: HOW NWest at the Washington Sportsmen's Show (Bring Donations)
Post by: islandson671 on January 22, 2013, 09:18:19 PM
Hey guys...

We just got through setting up the HeroesOnTheWater-NWest Booth. If any of you are coming down, please bring your old fishing gear, waders/boots, rain gear that you don't use and put it in the Donation Bin. There are bunch of Fish and Tackle booths at the Show so, if you want to donate any new stuff...we'll take them too. :o

If not, at least come by and say hi to the guys and gals that have volunteered to help at the booth.

Don't forget the Show starts tomorrow (Wednesday) January 23 and runs till Sunday Jan 27. Those of you that purchased a HeroesOnTheWater shirt and are planning to come down, I would like to encourage you to please wear your shirt and show your support. Thanks Again!

Thanks to all the volunteers that stepped up to help with the Show (NWnoob, WindandEmotion, Olyspec, Lee & LingLady, Tom Lee (sorry I forgot your NWKA handle), micahg, CrabHawk as well as Roland, Ed and the ManChild. HeroesOnTheWater-NWest is only possible with help of individuals like yourself.

I hope we see some NWKA folks out there!

Awesome booth. Hopefully you get a ton of donations. If I make it to the show this weekend I will also bring some of my gear I no longer use.

2 days left hope to see some of you guys tomorrow. Don't forget to bring your old or new gear to donate. We could really use some trout and bass lures, old waders/boots and rain gear.

Help give a soldier or vet a day of healing.

Not at all. I can email you a couple of signs I made that you can print and use too. But, I will update it to have the HOW-PDX info of course.

Great shot of the booth.

I was really impressed by the interest in the booth and the booth itself, in the few hours I was there we talked to and signed up over a dozen soldiers and veterans, heroes we hope to take out on the water!

Hats off to Dino, hes doing one heck of a job at the sportsmans show.

We received some donations not a bunch but I've already received calls from guys that came by and want to meet up to donate gear. One guy has 14 Abu Garcia and Penn reels that his dad left him when his dad passed away and he said most were new in the box and his dad was vet.
