THE 2009 ROCKY RIVER TU BARNQUET AND EXPO MARCH 21, 2009
The 2009 Rocky River Trout Unlimited Barnquet and Expo are about 5 weeks away. What’s a Barnquet?
Well it is part banquet with a big dose of getting out and spending a little time with other members and their
families. Since is it being held at Oehler’s Mallard Creek BBQ Barn it was decided to call it a
Barnquet. Plus we thought we’d add another element to it and resurrect the Trout Expo that we successfully
held each year in the days before the Fly Fishing Show came to town. We have over ten vendors / exhibitors
that have agreed to be there for the Expo. That night we’ll eat and then raise a little money with
an auction and raffles. We have a minimum 4 guided trips to be either in the auction or raffled off and are
beginning to accumulate items, both fishing and non fishing to have at the fundraiser.
Want a ticket? Tickets will go on sale at the February meeting. Ticket cost will be $30 per person, $50 for a
couple or significant other and $22 for attendees 21 to 6 years old. Under 6 will be Free.
The Expo portion will get started around 2:00 and will last until about 6:00. The BBQ dinner will start at 5:30
with the fund raising portion to follow the meal. There will be bucket raffles, auctions and games of chance
during the evening.
