Sorry it has taken me so long to get this post up, The day of the Derby will be Sunday February 15th, 2009.

Derby ticket and check-in point

Tickets are available today at Searun Tackle, Riverside Tackle, Highwater Tackle, Reaction Fly & Tackle, Pacific Angler and Michael & Young.... . All the tickets that are pre-sold will still have to validated the morning of the derby.

Reaction Fly and Tackle in Abbotsford will once again be the check-in point. Check-in will start at 6:30am Sunday morning.

The cost of entering will be $25. There will be derby hats available to the first 50 people who get their tickets validated.

If you are not able to pre-purchase a ticket at a tackle shop, tickets will be available for purchase at the check in station between 6:30 am and 8:00am. Make sure you are there before 8:00am or your ticket cannot be validated and your entry will not count!
