Thanks for the PDFs...
Wow, I can see why some folks are skeptical of the news.  I kind of wish Rick or his editor had contacted one of us for some fact checking...

"taking some contestants on mile-long rides through swells up to eight feet"... Well not on Saturday.  Who told Rick that they saw eight foot swells out there?

"to be weighed to within 1/100th of an ounce"   it's actually 1/100th of a pound, minor technicality.

"Oregon-made Lancer jigs"... nope, they're from Washington

"pedaled his 13-foot Mirage to a fish-infested reef"... he's missing a few more words there

"Most ocean-fishing kayaks user pedal-powered propulsion"... well, maybe at the ORC, but I wouldn't say that's true nationwide


Anyway, minor fact-check complaints aside, that's a great write up in the local paper for our event.    Front page of the sports section.   The article managed to mention the money we raised and where it went, so that's a big plus.   Some of our sponsors got a plug.  Shane (Seth) West got a bunch of photo credits.


I noticed all those loose details as well.   :-\

Very cool writeup non the less.

Did "Neighbors For Kids" get renamed to "Kids Zone" at some point?
