These people deserve a great big cheer for the time they volunteered at the the kids tackle making booth I wouldnt be surprised if they all woke up with carpal tunnel in their wrists from all the twisting and turning at a hectic pace making baits for the huge turnout by the kids especially on saturday,,The line got so long and steady of kids wanting to build a bucktail that on the tail skits the workers had to switch over to zip ties and glue instead of winding thread just to speed up the process and try to keep pace with all the kids in line. The kids had all the best components and their imaginations on colors ran wild,it was fun to stop by and watch the 'bling' they came up with

the expo bought $4600 in components and the vols were
Jared Benyart
Dave Knutson
Linda Knutson
Jeremy Knutson
Gregg Kappes'
Shawn Kellet 'treats'
Al Larson
Paul Hartman
hopefully didnt miss anybody

because of these peoples time there were who knows how many kids that left that booth with Big smiles on their faces

I can second that, I asked my ten year old boy if he had fun and he said he had a great time so then I asked what was his favorite thing and without hesitation he said the lure building. A big thanks to all involved !!

I want to say thank you also. My 10 year old daughter and I were there on Friday and she had a great time making the bucktails and painting her own jig.
The guy that was making the bucktails most of the day was very nice and explained what he was doing to her throughout the process.
You guys did a great job.
Thanks again.
