The 24 hour marathon portion is non competitive but we have a box of smaller prizes we hand out through the night for those catching fish. The competitive portion of the event will be like any other derby with a scale and a number of prizes for largest fish caught. We also have an inexpensive family portion of the event with three family/kids prize baskets for fish caught. There are a number of kids activities , mascots, etc. The best prizes are for pledge earners(after all it is a fundraiser). When you register for the 24 hour event you will be sent a pledge sheet. Your entry of $50 entitles you to a dinner voucher, a breakfast voucher and one ticket towards the pledge earner prizes. For every $25 raised above that you get another ticket. so basically the more you raise,the more chances to win these prizes.You can bring your own shelter or fish in the main event tent. This is a really casual and easy going event and meant to be more fun and camaraderie than competition. We also have a short fish-off for media/celebrity and the winner of this event has their name on a trophy that is kept for a year. Past winners included Gord Leclerc(CKY)/Ryan Johnson, Chris Cvetkovic(Blue Bombers)/ Craig Stapon(CJOB), Jon Lundberg (City TV)/ Todd Longley (Citycats) as well as Lyle Bauer (Blue Bombers). We are still compiling our sponsorships and prize lists so more on that later.
