SPONSORS / DONORS
Directions:
North, exit 290, go east on GA-20 about 300’ and turn right on SPUR 20 by the Wendy’s fast food restaurant, Go about 2 ½ miles to Jim Knight Rd on the left. Follow Jim Knight until it dead ends at the Bartow County Beach Rd. (right in front of the COE equipment yard and shop entrance). Turn left and follow the road to the park, bear left in front of the Park Managers residence, then left again at the split in the road. You will see the restrooms and the parking lot. I am almost always parked at the top of the hill adjacent to the non-boater parking area in front of the restrooms. Easy enough to find me because we usually have a crowd of folks gathered around swapping stories and having a good time!

I have received several questions with the majority being, I cant fish because of other commitments but would like to donate a Toy. Christie over at Natures Tackle Box in Hiram will be accepting Toy drop offs for those who would like to donate but cannot attend the tournament. We are also seeing about another location over in the Acworth/Marietta side of town also so stay tuned. IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON FISHING BRING YOUR DONATION TO THE RAMP. Another questions was the $ amount of the toy(s). I am not going to place a minimum $ amount on what to spend, all I ask is please use good judgement.

Also hope to be making some other announcements soon, will see if they pan out. Still trying to find someone to feed us, If you have an inside contact let us know.

Thank you all for your support.

Danny P

Now after a restful night I finally have some thoughts LOL

Cherrie Carney, who is with the Atlanta Toys for Tots, was our special guest today, and she was absolutely blown away with the participation. .The Atlanta Area Toys for Tots serves 17 metro counties and is the LARGEST area served in the US for the campaign. Cherrie is looking forward to next years event already and we kinda pre talked some marketing ideas. If it comes through, next year will be BIGGER Again I want to thank each and every person that came out, donated and fished the event. I also want to take the time to thank those who graciously donated items all on such short notice for our Door Prizes and Raffle items, Thanks to, Publix, The Dugout, Sacketts Western Wear, Tack, and Feed, Radical Tackle, Bow To Stern Protectant (BTS), 5X3 Fishing, and Matt Driver, Warren Barnes, Warren Barnes Fishing, Dustin Coosariverkilla King and BoatUS, Mike Bucca of Bull Shad Swimbaits, Stan Knowles and Coach Bagby, Academy Sports of Cartersville, & Sure Life Release Formula & Curly Q's BBQ & Professional lures out of Dalton Ga. for their donation
I also want to thank Bob Robert L Smith, for listening to my crazy idea for the fall bash benefit and agreeing to help out. Bob's relationships with the Gatewood Park folks and Bartow County allowed us to have a hassle free event.
Thanks to Ron Himmelreich for coming out and volunteering his time helping at Pre Regis and Weigh in Thanks Bud

Awesome job to all, special thanks to Danny's better half for getting up and coming out there to help with pre-registration and the toys too. Danny, I look forward to next years event and have already visited with park manager yesterday evening on my way home. He expressed a willingness to work with us on possibly setting up for the same weekend. Jeff and Mrs. Kornow of Curly Q's said they would be honored to participate with us as well. My hope is that we could make this into a family day and bass fishing tournament. We could even rent an inflatable slide or inflatable bouncy cage for the kids (the place that rents them is about 1/4 mile east of the traffic light at Spur 20 and GA-20).
I may be a bit sore this morning, but it was worth every minute of it! I enjoyed it.
