The event runs from 10am-4pm at Hillsboro High School (3285 SE Rood Bridge Road, Hillsboro). Activities include "how to" seminars,,"hands on" demonstrations" and doorprizes given periodically throughout the day. Best of all, the event is inside and FREE !!!!

I thought I would bring this to the top so everyone can read it again. Last year I was involed with this group of Steelheaders at this function. They put on a first class show for the youth in the community! I will be helping again this year, and challenge all of the ifish community to come out and help teach our youth what fishing is all about. I know we have a lot of quality fisherman on this site. Lets share some of our knowledge with these kids on 4/14/01. Contact the link and volunteer. I hope to see all of you there.

Jen were all kids at heart. It is obvious if you read some our posts. Being a kid at heart is a good thing. Most importantly when one kid teaches another how to fish.

If you are planning on attending and will be able to help out and have some fish pictures in a binder of album, bring it. Last year the kids loved looking as some of my pictures. Also, I think we still need some seminar speakers/teachers.. 15-30 min, demo , teaching or showing slmost any subject. Trout, crappie, salmon, steelhead, summers or winters, bass, shad, etc. bring some of your gear and just show what you do. Contact Grant , he's get bit in one of the above posts.
