Too Friekin Cold To Fish Night - March 5th

Too Friekin Cold To Fish Night - March 5th

What is it? S-B's annual night out - Kinda like Festivus for fisherpeeps where amazing feats or strength, occasionally encouraged by beer are combined with one of the best raffle tables ever to help support S-B to keep the lights on.

Where? VFW Hall, Middle St Fairhaven, MA. - Conventiently located across the street from the Holiday Inn.

Details to follow but looking for suggestions for:

  • Entertainment
  • Awards - Real & Gag
  • Donations to the raffle table
  • Et cetera, et cetera...

Updates: TFCTFN - Rooms Thread

TFCTFN Food Thread - We have a lot of people bringing food so everyone is well fed. Team Bombaz runs the food

The S-Bees - S-B Gag Awards, to be presented at TFCTFN

I will have to finally make it this year. Sounds like a great time.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

JohnR, I suggest that the raffle winners be organized like the Hab's raffle where the item is randomly selected prior to calling the number.
This will acknowledge the donor and sponsor for their generous contribution thereby promoting their company. Also it will give better odds of the nicer prizes for everyone.

Will that be quick enough? The raffle takes an hour as it is

Even if it takes a longer time say 20% that is only 12 minutes. The benefits outweigh the additional time after all if it wasn't for the donors it would not be possible. Something to think about anyway.

Might actually be quicker, less people shopping the table when the number is called

We won't see . I would make more money NOT doing this website - really. Besides, beer gets no cheaper than at the VFW hall.

Ross you sure that you can find your way to Fairhaven all this distance from home to a bar? Oh I forgot, its just down the street from a strip joint.

Does your vehicle fit a table for ten? Is it long enough to carry surf rods internally

Tell you what Bobby, if I hit Powerball between now and then, first three hours are on me. Or we might rent a jet and party in Key West.
