The 39th Annual Bill
Hargreaves Rodeo was again a great success.
We
welcomed 239 Open Division anglers and
countless juniors as well.
Not only was the weather great, but our
charity support effort for
Ronald McDonald
House was also
successful and rewarding for all,
especially the many volunteers who devote so
much of their time to this event. Our 2009 Master of
Ceremonies, Gene Valentino, Escambia
County Commissioner for District 2, did a
great job! Mr. Bill Hargreaves Junior
made a special appearance and presented the
Committee with mementos. This
year, we also recognized and paid tribute to
the many boat captains who so generously
donated their time (and their boats) to take
kids out fishing who otherwise wouldn't have
had the opportunity. What started out
as a couple guys deciding to take some kids
fishing a few years ago has grown
exponentially to 11 boats this year, giving
over 30 kids an opportunity to have a lot of
fun (and catch fish too!) Special
thanks goes out to those folks who made this
happen via the
Pensacola Fishing Forum,
some of
whom were present at the Awards Ceremony. |
