Included in the prize draw this year will be a birthday party package at the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery! The party is for 15 kids, 2.5 hours long, which includes fishing at the trout ponds. It's an awesome way to celebrate the big day.

When you come to the event, you'll get a ticket to fill out your name for these prize draws. Free entry, a room full of fishing knowledge and a chance to win some great prizes, can't beat that! See you on March 12th.

Rod from Bent Rods is donating a salmon jig kit which will be part of the prize draw at the event.

Rod's also going to be doing jig fishing and tying demos throughout the day so you definitely want to stop by.

We'll also be giving away a Scotty fishing rod holder and their new transducer mount.

We'll also be giving away a Humminbird PiranhaMAX 197c DI fish finder on March 12th!

For these draw prizes, you don't have to be there early to win. You can go fishing on the Vedder in the morning, come by the event afterward and enter. We'll do the draw after the event and contact the winners by phone and mail the prizes out.

Today was shopping day... We went and picked up prizes for the event from Redl Sports, which has always been a very generous supporter for all the projects I'm involved with. We got lots of rod/reel combos, lures, bait, tackle boxes to give away in the kids casting contest on Saturday.

 Fantastic! Looks like a huge amount of time and collaboration already went in to resurrecting this occasion. And free! I'll see you there!

OK, so this has been niggling at me,    help me understand what the word "Chilliwack's" means

Is "Chilliwack's" an abbreviation for "Chilliwack is". Ergo... Chilliwack Is All About Fishing

Or does the apostrophe "s" denote possession. Ergo... All About Fishing is being held in Chilliwack

Or maybe both!

[Fish or cut bait.]

Both, but the word "chilliwak" connected with "is" is a contraction.
The word chilliwak means something like (don't recall the official wording) place were water Meets ( all the creeks and such)
The fact that Chilliwak is an urban fishing destination also would allow it take ownership in the possessive.

Lots of other places to fish but Chilliwak is the most promoted.

Let it stay so and the other places will retain some semblance of peace a little longer  .

Yes, I stand corrected. "Chilliwack's" is a contraction, not an abbreviation. My apologies to all of my English grammar teachers

Just counted, we have at least 250 prizes to give away in the kids casting contest... so you all better bring your kids on Saturday to claim a prize because I do not want these to sit in my house in the next twelve months.
