| It's that time of year again! Thanks to everyone that donated and participated last year! You helped the ODNR tremendously!
Tragically, this past Fall, we lost a pillar of the Eastern Muskie fishing community. Mike Money was a great friend and mentor to many of us. Mike and I have been putting on the swap and Minnow Fund raffle for going on 7 years now. In light of his dedication to this great cause, I've decided to put his name on the event from here on out. Mike will be greatly missed for many years to come.
We have many commitments for raffle donations but we can always use more! It will be difficult to top last year's total amount generated- almost $3000! Elmer Heyob has the exact figure as Mike cut the check upon the request of the ODNR. We need your donations and participation at the event to make it happen! Quality donations for the tables are still needed! This is the perfect place for basement novices and pros alike to showcase their work for a cause that benefits us all!
**Rob VanGorder contacted me about a very special donation. He won several baits made by Mike Money last year that he has generously donated to this years raffle table. They are quite possibly the last two, unfished, lures Mike made specifically for this cause. They are both custom painted, 10", 007 crankbaits.
Just like in years past, swap tables are FREE and are on a first come, first served basis. Admission to the event is FREE. We will be providing FREE pizza. Adult beverages will be available with a $1 donation to the Minnow Fund. Tickets for the raffle will be $1 each or 6 for $5.
We look forward to making this the best Swap Meet and ODNR Minnow Fund Raffle to Date! I'm excited to see you all there!
