THe Habs Fall Classic - Oct. 10-12, 2008

[Pt.JudeJoe]

A wee update on this project...We are going to get some registration slips and weigh in slips made up for the 3 weigh in shops: Quonny Bait &Tackle (see Tim the owner) formerly Captain Don's on rt 1 in Charleston, Edwards Bait and Tackle in Newport ,Kevin runs this shop, (Connell Hwy near Walmart and next to the Hillmart convenience store), and the Saltwater Edge on Valley rd in Middletown.
I believe the Boss called Chuck and said we could use paypal thru this site to register as well. All we need bascically is name,address,and phone #. $15.00 gets you in the tourney and a HABS pin,(the ones they had at the RISAA show). DON'T REGISTER YET AS THIS IS ALL STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGE! We'll let you know when it time.
We're going to see if we can have the awards at the Coddington Brewery on Connell Hwy, Sunday afternoon (Pats don't play till 8:30) We will also have some kind of raffle at the awards for cool stuff donated by cool people and company big wigs.
Ok that's yer update stay tuned.

Just a note on the awards get-together at the Blooberry Factory - maybe we can get people to indicate whether or not they're going to come on Suday so we can give Billie a number to expect and maybe have the room set up for it if we have enough coming.

Me and Joe are gonna go over this coming week to get that end of things locked down so that's taken care of.

Flo's Friday may just be for whoever shows up for it as a gathering spot to kick it off - my friend who owns it is tough to track down. Looks like I'm gonna have to get crafty on him - you have to be vewwwwy quiet when you're hunting wild Greeks

I'll just be drinking sodas Friday anyway since I'm gonna sling eels all night in rocky places.

Yeah, I figure I've got a month of training to get myself back in shape and I've got a friend reworking something special for me with strong mojo. Robbie T knows just what it is, too

Hey Rob, BTW, I'm still looking for that special thingy we were talking about - as soon as I find it, it's yours my friend

Any update on when we can PayPal for tickets?

[Pt.JudeJoe]

Ok it's all set. John has the online registration going and all 3 weigh in stations , Quonny Bait and Tackle, Edwards Fishing Tackle, and The Saltwater Edge have the tickets and the Habs pins. Registration will go till 4 pm Friday Oct 10th. at the shops.
Alrighty then! Go out there and have fun and know that you're part of a good cause......and while you're out there you might want to take a look up at the sky and remember John, and appreciate that our time is short here and we are very lucky be able to spend some of it fishing and meeting folks like John.

I entered yesterday. Let me tell you that the Habs Pin's alone are worth the entry fee. A must have for collectors of John's plugs and a great rememberence. The proceeds go to a great cause (in this case Hasbro) which is a must for any tourney that I enter. Even if you don't plan on fishing this event please consider entering - $15 well spent.

Will any of the shops change their hours or give short window for weigh in's? I think the Edge opens 11am on Sunday and the tourney ends at 9am.

Goose -

I'll talk to the shops involved as official weigh stations for the tourney - Edward's FISHING Tackle (Hey Kevin I won't call it 'BAIT & Tackle' anymore, okay), the SWE, Quonny and Quaker Lane to see what the hours are. I do know the hours at the Edge are like 10 to 4 on Sundays, though - Edwards isn't too far away, just down the road from the Coddington Brewing Co. and on Sundays I think Kevin opens at 6:00 AM -

Or you can give them a call to see yourself - I won't get a chance today, I'm outta here for work in an hour or so

Work, the curse of the fishing class...........
