For the second year in a row, Nelsons Bait and Tackle in Provincetown is sponsoring Free Fishing Trips for Combat Veterans and their families. Last year 20 charter and recreational boats took out over 65 veterans, along with 100 of their kids/spouses for a day of fishing. Thanks to generous donations, we also provided everyone with a great lunch on the Pier.
This years event is on Sunday, June 7th, and we have 21 boats and are looking for more because we are about 90% full at this time! We are also accepting any donations, checks made out to Free Fishing Trips for Veterans, and mailed to Rich Wood, PO Box 1175, Truro, MA 02666.
