Ron and Darrelle Vecchio of Lafayette, California won the trip with Jack Trout of Mt. Shasta with a stay at the McCloud Hotel. 27. Mo Tidmanis from San Clemente, California won the stay at Bailey Creek Lodge. Many of our subscribers have already visited this lodge managed by The Fly Shop and came away with glowing reports. Chris and I are already working on next year's Party. We've had some feedback and welcome any other suggestions. More than one subscriber said it might be better to limit winners of donations to one selection. If a person won more than one raffle item, that person could select one and return the others for someone else to win. If you have any feelings on this, e-mail us at insideangl@aol.com or write. Overall, Chris and I felt the Party ran smoothly. Calling out names for the near sixty Door Prizes instead of numbers was an improvement. The Party is getting better, but we're still learning. The Flyfish Party is held each year in March in San Francisco. Participants are Inside Angler subscribers and their friends. We hope to see you next year for these flyfishing festivities. |
