I have good news.

We have arranged for a photagrapher to video tape and take stills of Duane's presentation and edit the video at no cost. She will alsoturn over the whole thing to Duane to use as he sees fit.

After discussingwith her why Duane does these programs, who we are and why we support him, and that the USGS budget could not currently handle the normal price tag of video, she decided to help out too by donating her time and the use of her equipment.

I visited Bass Pro yesterdayto discuss the details in person with the store manager and event coordinator. With a phone call to Duane, we finalized the location of the demonstration, and made sure the photagrapher was aware of any special lighting or sounds requirements.

Jeff and Tim from Bass Pro were a big help in making sure all the details were covered so that it all goes smoothly. They have agreed to make sure the background music is turned down in the presentation area and have volunteered to use their resources to assist with disposal of the fish carcases.

Bass Pro is proving themselves to be a great partner, so make sure you thank them in person when you come out, and maybe buy some gear while you're there too.

We have also been asked to put on a bowfishing presentation at the store at a later date. Details to be determined later.

See everybody on Saturday.
