The awards ceremony for the Youth Fishing Essay Contest was held on Saturday February 27 at the Suffolk County Boat and Sportfishing Show. The event was well attended with all winners and their families in attendance. We also had a terrific show of support from The Fisherman magazine and LIOCN to help out with the event. Fred Golofaro, Doc Muller, Mike Caruso, Bob Banfelder, Donna Derasmo, Tim Smith, Jerry Collins (Captain Kayak) and yours truly, AP, were in attendance. The certificates and prizes were awared in the lecture hall of the college but we took the awarding of the grand prize out onto the floor of the show. That proved to be a real attention getter and it was an enjoyable and fun experience for all.
By all meaures, the contest was a success. We granted fifteen 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes and five special recognition awards that included the Grand Prize. Special thanks go to Captain Kayak and The Fisherman for obtaining the Hobie Kayak and to Chris Paparo and Atlantis Marine World for three very special awards. Thanks also go out to a number of LICON members for their gracious contributions: William Doc Muller; Kevin Falvey; Zeno Hromin; Nick Karas; John Skinner; Tom Melton;Tim Smith; Al Lorenzetti and AP. Other awards were donated by Albright Tackle, Shimano, Daiwa, Zebco/Quantum, Matzuo/South Bend, Pure Fishing, J&H Super Outlet, George Povermo, Larry Czonka and Roland Martin.
And thanks again to all the judges: Doc Muller; Fred Golofaro; Joel Lucks; Bob Banfelder; Donna Derasmo and AP.
