Helping Others
C.A.S.T.  We love to lend a hand for other
kids events, and this one was right up our
alley.  C.A.S.T. "Catch a Special Thrill" is an
event to help disabled and disadvantaged
children participate in fishing and outdoor
fun.  It puts them in boats with more
advanced fisherman for a fun filled day.  The
Kansas Highway Patrol coordinates this
area program and it is held on Eldorado
Lake in Kansas.  This year close to 50 kids
enjoyed a great day.  They were given rods,
reels, tackle, shirts, hats, and then spent a
few hours on the water in a boat with an
advanced angler.  Some caught fish and
other did not, but smiles were everywhere
just from the boat ride.  They were awarded
a plaque and certificate presented by the
boater.  I'm really not sure who has the most
fun, them or the anglers and volunteers.  
See  C.A.S.T.  for details and contacts
