2006 Springfield Casting Contest Results

At the Springfield Sportsman Show, held at the Eastern States Exposition site, this years Casting Kids contests was a huge success.  Inside at the show the Casting Kids contest was in full swing with kids and parents having a great time.  All the kids learned about  the art of Flipping, Pitching and Casting.  We had two separate contests each day with two winners for each.  Congratulations to our two sets of winners on February 25, 2006, they are Bill Janus, in the 11-14 age group and Gregory Carlson in the 7-10 age group (Session 1) and Jachary Thibodeau in the 11-14 age group and Paige Tetro in the 7-10 age group (Session 2).  On day two of our event, February 26, 2006 our winners for Session 1 are James Collins in the 11-14 age group and Nicole Plante in the 7-10 age group.  In Session 2 our winners are Brandy Barry in the 11-14 age group and Jonah Vermilya in the 7-10 age group.  We would like to congratulate them for winning the contests and we will be seeing them at the State Finals in September.  Also we send out the same to all the kids who gave it their all.  We would like to send out a special thanks to Muskie Joe for giving our winners a day of fishing with him.  Many, many thanks go out to the Clubs for their help and support on this two day event.  They give these kids a great learning experience and also a lot of fun.  Without you this these events couldn’t happen.  Check out the pictures of this years contest.
