NMA 25th Anniversary Awards Banquet Donations and Acquisitions

[Scott McKee]

On this forum string Mike Fortunate, JoJo and I will post pictures and make you aware of all the pretty lures, rods, reels, trips, equipment and donations that will be available on the raffle tables at our 25th anniversary shindy, which will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at the Pearl Street Grill.

Brian Boyer, the creator and owner of Legend Lures, is one hell of a guy.  He has slashed prices for our club for years and years, like so many of the lure makers we call friends. Brian recently filled our banquet order and he was generous enough to donate this gorgeous lure to our Prom. Brian, you are amazing, just like your baits!!!

We just finished setting up the banquet. I don't have the words to describe the tables. They are shocking.

Unbelievable is all I can say about last nights NMA 25th Anniversary Banquet! Biggest Raffle Tables I have ever seen at any fishing Club Banquet. But what made my night was to see all the original NMA Members from the 90's in attendance. Great Job Scott Carrie & NMA Team!

That was the greatest two-day celebration any club has ever put on.  Scott, Carrie and the workers who put this affair together outdid themselves. Giving Mark Maghran a hug was a special moment. To those who didn't win a prize, remember that not everyone who goes to a meat raffle goes home with a wiener.

Pick the candle!

Memo to all:  Scott is doing better now that he has signed up for rehab. He was diagnosed with BWS (Banquet Withdrawal Syndrome). The problem is that he has to wait for musky season opening day to commence treatment. Dragging his recently won lures, using his new rod, has been prescribed. One thing he has to avoid is reading my comments as they can cause a relapse.

This is a test to see if Scott can stop checking these comments.

Scott won't recover until Dyngus Day. Dyngus Day gets everyone back to "normal."

John let's see some pictures!!!

Scott and Carrie went above and beyond. Incredible job with the banquet. And congratulations Scott on your Hall of Fame induction! You deserved it more than I can say!
