Re: 2nd ANNUAL CRAPPIE FOR CANINES

WOW...what a bunch of nice prizes! And only a forty dollar entry fee for a chance at a prize or cash like those? Good work Candi...and good timing too 'cause the bigger crappie should really be settled in close to the bank that week. This one looks to be a Big Bang for your Buck. Those Dogs are a treasure to a handicapped person and are loved to be loved by one and all.</p>

I meant to tell you that there are 236 custom jigs in that gift box, so glad it goes to such a good cause...the maddog</p>
 
Re: 2nd ANNUAL CRAPPIE FOR CANINES

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Candi for her amazing work in putting together another GREAT Crappie for Canines to support service dogs for people with disabilities! The Assistance Dog Academy is thrilled to be a part of this wonderful event, and we deeply appreciate the wonderful support so generously given for the service dog cause! We can't wait for a great day out at Chester Frost with all of the participants, families, and our dogs!

RE: 2nd ANNUAL CRAPPIE FOR CANINES

Great post, one of the best I have seen. This is a very worth wild cause. Of course I am a dog lover. So calling all crappie anglers and dog fans, this one is worth going to, fishing in or just showing up to give a little support. emoThumbsup Jmax
