I counted 50 shanties on the lake today. A bunch of drunks said the local bar was having a tournament. More drinking and yelling than fishing.

Nice show this year. Including a live (amputee) Bald Eagle. My one purchase will be this fishing devotional book from the Sportspersons Ministries International booth, signed by the author.
