Ice Fishing Tournament 2011
The 2011 Tournament had to be cancelled due to severe (and we mean SEVERE) wind and weather conditions. Out of consideration for the hundreds of participants who had to travel on roads which were closed early in the day, and the treacherous wind conditions on the ice, the decision was made reluctantly. As you can imagine, months of planning goes into an event such as this and thousands of man/woman hours are involved in putting such an amazing event together.We want to thank the 300+ who showed up in spite of the weather and tell them how much we appreciate their understanding and support of our decision to cancel... it meant so much to us... thank you!
As per rule 39 of the Tournament Rules, the prizes were drawn from all registrants (not just those attending) and the list is below for your information. If you did not receive a call or a message about winning – and your name is on this list... please call Gregor Homes (705) 721-3354 to make arrangements to accept your prize.
