Hi Mar Fishing Flea Market Fundraiser - Feb 10

[MVP]

Well it is that time of year again. My annual fishing flea market fundraiser I do to help out elderly neighbor of mine. Can not believe this will be the 5-6th year doing this. I will have 2 tables with one of the tables being donated by the guys at Hi Mar as they always step up to the plate for a good cause.

As always i will have some great gear up for sale at great prices, normally 40-75% off retail prices. ( Rods, reels, line, rigs, terminal tackle etc.. ) All profit generated will go to my elderly neighbor as she recently had some drunk lady on her cell phone run into her parked Ford Sportstrack pickup that was parked on the street and totalled the truck. I gave her my pickup to use in the meantime until i can find a comparable vehicle. Money raised will most likely go to help purchase replacement vehicle.

Many thanks go out to the njfishing community who have reached out to me that want to donate some of their surplus fishing equipment to help the cause. Greatly appreciated as I sold allot of my stuff during yard sale I had last year and am now low on inventory. Also big thanks to Brian Man working for donating 2 free passes on the Ocean Explorer. This will be a Bring a kid fishing raffle that i will be selling tickets to: total value is $110.00 dollars
(70.00 adult fare and 40 kids fare) If you win and want to bring 2 adults you will just need to pay Bobby the 30 dollar difference. The idea behind raffle is to bring a kid fishing to expose them to the sport we all love. Sure beats being in front of computer playing video games.

If anyone has anything they want to donate please bring it to the show this saturday or call me if it needs to be picked up or delivered as i am currently in Roselle, NJ. Exit 137 off parkway. Any questions feel free to call

Big thanks you go out to the guys at Hi Mar for another well run show
Great foot traffic most of the day. Great to see some old friends and make a few new ones. Special thanks to my friends Vinny and Capt Ed to help me run my 2 tables. Would not have gone as smoothly without your help. Did not have my niece and nephew this year as he had soccer and she had dance. Could have used them in helping me sell tickets to the Ocean Explorer Bring a Kid fishing Raflle I was running as I only sold to 5 people. If still interested in buying ticket for the raffle give me a call and I will enter you in. $5.00 dollars for one ticket and 10.00 for 3 tickets. If you win you get a voucher for 70.00 dollars for adult fair and a 40.00 dollar voucher for a child fair. Thanks to Brian Man Working for donation of trips. Will pull the winning ticket next Sunday and contact winninner and mail out both vouchers. Any questions give me a call

Great seeing you Alex and I'd like to get $10.00 worth of raffle tickets..

Can I pay pal you and if so what is your pay pal address??

[Man Workin]

I think the fact that your beautiful niece wasn’t available to sell for us made a big difference. Alex makes mention of it but the reason for the raffle is to help a great lady so let’s sell some tickets. Huge thanks to Bobby Quinn as well, Bobby always steps up and the OE is a great boat to catch a P.B on; or just catch a tan dragging bait. See u guys out there.

Well, at least I was 1 of 5 you did get to! Hope you do sell a lot more now. In fact I know you will as there are a lot of generous guys on the site!

I pushed away at the raffle I was running for Jason's Dreams For Kids. http://jasonsdreamsforkids.org/ Close to the end I had just $180 in $5.00 ticket sales, we made a "Last Call" announcement and I finished with $230. We drew our two winners and both returned to claim their prizes. I mentioned how we did on FB and two great friends stepped up with donations to more than double what I made! So now I can hand Dennis McGinnes a check for $500. Thank you all!

And a special thanks to the Hi-Mar Striper Club for running a class operation!

Thanks Gerry. Greatly appreciated. You are the 6 person to purchase raffle tickets. Going to pull ticket on Sunday evening so there is still time for anyone else who wants to get in. I doubt we will have more than 10 people in the drawing so odds will be good. I will mail out both vouchers out $110 dollar value once ticket is chosen

[Reelron]

Alex, keep an eye on your paypal, sending another $10.00.

Thanks Michael for breaking the ice
My 9 year old niece did a much better job of selling tickets last year than I did this year. Who could resist her cute little face vs my ugly mug

[MVP]

Thanks to Tom K for stepping up with donation of 30 bucks for raffle
Will enter in his 9 tickets towards raffle. Currently at 95 dollars raised from raffle. Let's get a few more to put us over 100

Wish I could do more for a very worthy cause Alex.
Hope some others will step up and get Pay-Pal funds to you ASAP.
Tight lines,

Want to thank Brian Man working and Bobby from the OE for putting together this years raffle together to take a kid fishing. With all money raised going to my elderly neighbor that I help out. Want to thank everyone that stopped by the table and bought some gear as well as everyone who participated in the raffle. Also big shout out to the guys at Hi Mar for doing such a great job and always paying it forward. Drumroll Please. The winner of the 2018 Take a Kid Fishing Raffle goes to our fearless Leader Gerry Zagorski. Please text me your address so I can mail out both Vouchers.

Keep your eyes open as I will be having another yard sale sometime in the Spring in Cranford at my sisters place to help get rid of the remaining inventory
Lots of really nice rods and tackle still left
