Annual Banquet

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 23rd, 2010.  This year the FFF board has made it a priority  to provide members as much lead time as possible before large club events. So get out your calendar and mark the following date. Hopefully you will be able to keep this date open and attend the annual club picnic. This event is also a fund raiser through our club drawings. Who knows you may came home with just the piece of fly fishing equipment  you always needed.  Club camaraderie is what keeps our organization going and this event is  perfect for strengthening our fly fishing bonds. Make it a point to talk to someone different at the picnic.  

Date: Saturday October 23rd.  

Time: Gates will open at 10 a.m.  for anglers. Activities will begin at 1 p.m.   

Cost:  $15.00/ person and 5 free drawing tickets with pre-register. $15.00/person at   the door.  

Where: This year we have changed the picnic location to The Band Camp. This 50 acre facility is located at 73rd North & Ridge Road. The site is somewhat out of the way so we will also be posting signs to help you locate the facility.  This area has a six acre fishing pond so be sure to bring your fishing equipment.  

Directions To Band Camp:   From the intersection of North Ridge Road and 53rd St. West. Go 2.5 miles North to  W 73 rd N.  Go west on 73rd 1 mile and turn left (at a sign that says STEEL SAND BAY on left side of road) there are two roads at this turn take the one on the right, it will take you South to Band Camp about 0.5 mile.

Activities: 

If you have other activities you would like to see included please contact a club officer.                           

Lunch: If you come early there will be Hot Dogs and Smoked Sausage available for a cook your own lunch.                            

Supper Menu:

From Club President Rory Wiske   As opposed to paying a speaker to come to our picnic to tell us about where they've been, we'd like to take the opportunity to celebrate fly fishing in Kansas, or wherever else OUR MEMBERS have been. I would like club members to forward, by email, pictures to me and maybe a short description of what and where the pictures were taken. I will be updating you by email every month, now through September, to see how many pictures we can come up with for a Fall Picnic Slide Show. I know it's early in the year, but last year's pictures will do just fine too.  It will be our time to shine, so send me what you've got and keep it coming all year!!!
