Everyone has some old fishing equipment collecting dust somewhere. Why not pass it on, help the Friends of the Grand River and come away with some extra cash as well?
Here is how it works:
On June 7, 2008 The Friends of the Grand River will host their annual Fly-Fishing Symposium, Grand Opportunities, at Belwood Lake Conservation Area. As part of our fund raising efforts, we will provide a venue where you can offer your retired but serviceable equipment for sale to other fly-fishing enthusiasts.
We are looking for rods, reels, waders, float tubes, nets, vests, accessories, fly tying equipment, books or anything else of interest to fly fishers.
Drop your equipment off, with the registration form filled out, between 8:30 and 9:30 am. The sale will start at 10:00 and go until 3:30. All unsold equipment is to be picked up between 3:30 and 4:30. Equipment unclaimed by June 30, 2008, becomes property of The Friends of the Grand River.
You will receive 80% of the sale price collected from the sale of your equipment. The remaining 20% will go to The Friends of the Grand River to support our many environmental, research and educational programs or you can donate the entire amount .
Please dig out your old stuff and bring it along to Hampton Barn. You will be recycling, filling your
pocket with cash and helping us to help our Grand River.
To speed up the process on the day of the event, you should pre-register your desire to attend and the equipment you intend to offer for sale. Fill out the attached registration form and fax it to the number above before May 31, 2008. We will have price tags ready for your stuff when you arrive.
