Saugeen Cedars Family Campground is pleased to, once again, be hosting the Annual Catch & Release Fishing Tournament the weekend of September 9, 10 & 11, 2011. For the past 10 years, we have been proud to co-host this tournament with the Upper Saugeen Habitat Restoration Association (USHRA)(www.canadianangling.com). Our registration includes fishers, both Fly & Rod for a great weekend of fishing & socializing. We would greatly appreciate your support by donating item(s) for prizes.
As a valuable sponsor, your business name will appear on each team’s measurement card as well as the Sponsor display listing on each list of rules & all invitations.
Fishing has a huge impact on the local economy. Fishers and our campers, between April & October, spend approximately $8 million at retail outlets, restaurants, entertainment facilities, grocery stores, gas stations, garden centres, etc. – a tremendous boost to a small community!
We appreciate your support for this fun-filled event. If you have any further questions, or to have a donation picked up at your place of business, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.
Yours truly
Pat Hawksworth
