Once again it is that time of the year for the annual spring Steelheaders Derby. Hopefully it isn’t going to be as soggy as the past couple, but I know no one is holding their breath onthat….lol. I have posted a volunteer signup sheet in the park for any one that is willing to help us out with a couple of the tasks that are required to make the derby fun and enjoyable for all. If you sign up for a task, we will depend on you to be there and in functional condition (you will have to save the partying till your task is completed).
Any one that is going to donate prizes could you please get them to me ASAP or at least let me know what it is that you are going to donate. This will give us a better game plan & idea of what we have for our always awesome prize selection. Once again thank you very much to all that donate, you all know the money raised goes to a great cause.
There is a women class that was added last fall, but unfortunately none of the ladies landed any chrome. So to all you lady Steelheaders this is your chance to be the first on the trophy. There is also a plaque for the spring and Fall derbies now for the live release class, so if youget a beauty that won’t make the leader board get its length & let it go to breed and be caught another day.
Now for a reminder of some of the derby “Rules”: Three air horn blasts at the end of the park will indicate 1 hour remaining to weigh in, 2 air horn blasts will indicate 30 minutes remaining & 1 long air horn blast indicates that the derby is officially close. My iPhone is going to be the set time that this is based around, so it may be a good idea to sync your watches and cells to my time. All fish will be weighed with the scale provided by the Ontario Steelheaders & only this scale, no exceptions. There will be no exception for late weigh-ins, no matter how great yourstory (fishtale) is. If there is a tie, the 1st person to weigh in one of the tying fish takes the top position. Last but not least, tight lines, have fun and be safe.
