Anyone with Thursday April 20th off here's a chance to take a Veteran fishing. I've done it 3 or 4 times and it's a lot of fun giving back to the Vets.

Hello Lake Norman Top Shelf Fishin’ Festival Potential Host Boaters,

Mark your calendar and help if the can. Thursday, April 20 is the 3rd Annual Lake Norman Top Shelf Fishin’ Festival. The wounded warriors and DVets are so excited to be returning this year.

Note: All the wounded warriors and DVets spots are already confirmed for this year’s Festival!!! In fact, all eight of our Fishin’ Festivals for this year are filled with wounded warriors and DVets – awesome. I have attached the Festival’s flyer; let’s get it out into to the community to help bring in host boaters, door prizes and cash donations.

2017 Top Shelf Fishin’ Festivals Schedule Overview:
· It’s probably the most comprehensive fishing outings schedule for wounded warriors and DVets in the country; we know of no other.
· We are adding one new Fishin’ Festival in 2017 which brings us to eight! It’s in Morehead City aboard the Carolina Princess in early-November - an all-day, off-shore outing.
· Four Fishin’ Festivals are being hosted in the Piedmont and four down East
· Five Fishin’ Festivals are in the spring; we take the summer off due to the heat and then host three more Festivals in the fall.
· Collectively, all eight Fishin’ Festivals offer 700 spots to wounded warriors and DVets – Incredible!!!
· Wounded warriors and DVets are fishing in the Festivals from NC, VA, SC, TN and GA.
· Each Fishin’ Festival provides $35,000 to $40,000 in retail value to our wounded warriors and DVets which ONS and the Festivals’ planning committees achieve with just $5,000 in cash and incredible grassroots and community support!!!

To register, send a 1-2 sentence message to Operation North State at [email protected] stating that you would like to participate. The information we need is your name, telephone number, town you live in and boat info (make, length and horsepower). Please share the attached flyer with your fishing buddies and folks that may be able to assist with a door prize, the dinner, snacks, etc. Collectively, the Fishin’ Festivals and you are changing and even saving the lives of our wounded warriors and DVets; not my words but theirs!

And, those of you that have sponsorships, contacts and relationships with state, regional and national fishing and outdoors equipment providers, please reach out to them and request their assistance as well. They will be in great company!

Thanks,
Terry
