Our 24th annual Awards Banquet is on Saturday, April 7 at the Pearl Street Grill, 76 Pearl Street, Buffalo, NY 14202.  The event starts at 6PM with hors d'oeuvres and open bar.  Dinner will be served at 7PM, with awards presentations and extensive raffle tables afterward  Tickets are $40 per person and they will be available at the door.

Here are a few points of interest:

• We will raffle a Bear Archery Fortus Black crossbow for $10 per chance, or three chances for $20.  Thank you Mike Jankowiak, owner of Machias Outdoors, for selling us this item at cost.
• We recently received shipments from Wyss Tackle, Andrew"s Baits and Baker Baits.  These high end (and very sexy) lures will be on our raffle tables.
• Marc Arena is donating enough tubes and Red October Baits' apparel for all four of our raffle tables.  Thank you, Marc!
• Brobeil Marine has donated a bunch of stuff for our tables, as they have for as long as I can remember.  Thank you, Fran Brobeil!
• Camillo's Sloan Market has donated four, $20 gift certificates.  Free sausages!
• Judy Martin has donated an exceptional Tim Horton's and booze basket! Coffee and booze? A recipe for disaster or guaranteed approval from your significant other?  I'm leaning towards the latter.
• Carrie Keane has purchased and assembled a ton of booze baskets and baskets with things in them that make you smell nice.  I know about the booze, but I have no idea what the little tubes and vials of things in the other baskets are called. 
• There will be CANDLES!
• Memquisit Lodge on Lake Nipissing has donated a free weekend stay for four at their lodge, the very best such establishment on the third largest non Great Lake in Ontario.

Attend our banquet.  You will not be sad you did.   See you this Saturday at the Musky Prom.
