MNO free Kids Fishing Tourney

[JohnWester]

We are sponsoring a kids fishing tournament

Saturday, July 14th!
11 a.m. to 1p.m. (check in begins at 10 a.m.)
Pottery Pond in Redwing, MN


MNOutdoorsman.com and FishingForLife.org are partnering up to host a kids fishing tournament in Red Wing, MN at Pottery Pond.  The fish-a-thon will take place from 11am to 1pm.  Check in time will start at 10 a.m. All kids participating in the fish-a-thon will need to pre-register by July 1st.  Walk-up registrations will be accepted the morning of the tournament, but they will not be eligible for all the prizes. 

I just wanted to get this out now so people can plan to be there. 

All kids are welcome and there will be many giveaways for the kids. 

I hope many of you can bring your kids out!

More information, as well as directions will be coming soon.

What age kids?
Do they need to purchase a license?
Thanks.

[JohnWester]

standard MN fishing regs apply. kids 16 and older need a license.
I havn't nailed down the age brackets yet, but there will be different groups.  I am not sure if I'll put a age limit on this either... I was thinking 16?  but not sure.

This contest will be in conjuction with fishingforlife.org, so once I get the fish-a-thon sheets from them, that will clear up some things.

[rchaze60]

I think you should make it 16 and under and if they are older than 16 if they have a disability then thats cool

[Grute Man]

BFG, I'll see if I can get those forms for you through Fishers of Men.   ::

[rchaze60]

[Realtree]

Rchaze, I'm not sure but I think that this is being rescheduled to a later date...you may want to PM Big Fish Guy to be sure.

[rchaze60]

well from his post up there^^^^^^ its on for the 14th of july but we will see .... are you going to it?

[JohnWester]

sorry all, i meant to post in here...
due to a busy summer (baseball) and everything going on(4 kids activities) and some miscommunication with the guy at fishingforlife.org (he isn't following through) I am going to reschedule this for a date TBD.
Sorry all, but we will have something for the kids.  I promise.

[holdemtwice]

 Maybe you should ask spinach for help.  this man can make anything happen. he is very good at planning avents.  just a thought. Mayfly as well . both can help get er done when you are ready  in the latter part ofthe year
  i am sorry you had to cancel . this sounded like a great idea. good luck

That sounds like fun, but am unable to have my stepkids in it on that date.  Any plans for any kids tourneys in the Minneapolis area any time this summer?
