Just wondering how many volunteers we were going to have at the Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair, June 2nd.
It will be a lot of fun. with a chance at some monster bigheads afterwards. (That's right Billy, I said Bigheads!) We have seven volunteers so far, but the more the merrier.

Two Rivers
Family Fishing Fair
Pere Marquette State Park
5 miles west of Grafton, Illinois on Route 100

Let us know if you can help.

That's the same day as the Wonder Lake shoot, isn't it?

Yep, Wonder Lake is the same day. I know you guys (and others) are headed up there. Hope you win some of the Carpbusters money.

You know Wonder Lake is done at noon.... Grafton at 5pm. You could make it down in time to whack some bigheads.

Don't change your plans if you were headed to Wonder Lake. If this opportunity hadn't come up we'd be there. When asked to help promote bowfishing to 5000 people, we couldn't say no.

You northerners go to the Wonder Lake Carp Shoot. The Wonder Lake Sportmans Club does a great job.

Yup, I'm doing the Wonder Lake thing.
I've done their Fall shoot, but this will bemy first time up there near the spring spawn. Gonna fill the boat a couple times with all the fish they've got in that lake.

Good luck at Grafton.
You know I'd love to be there yapping about my favorite warm weather pastime to new folks. Glad to hear you have plenty of helpto take advantage of this great opportunity. Have fun.

bringing ethan with me this sat. just need to know what time to be there.

bowman15 · 05-27-2007, 03:55 PM

Well I know Mark and I are going, so maybe I'll see if he wants to go to Grafton afterwards. Bigheads are pretty tempting, even to someone who's never shot one.

Good luck down there BTW. I hope you guys have some fun.

Congratulations! We can't wait to see the ring! [:-]

What "stategy" are you going to use at Wonder Lake?

HNI_Christine · 05-27-2007, 08:30 PM

Gary, the show starts at 10am, we'll probably need some help with set-up.

If you could be there at 9am? Maybe meet before that for breakfast?

Or if you want to meet up on Friday night, just give us a call.
