D'Arbonne door prizes for our gathering

hey fella, i'm kinda excited. been that way all day. i got confirmation from three different companies today that they will be sending us some rods for door prizes. not gonna mention the names of the companies just yet, but they are very nice rods. but that's not why i started this thread.

if anyone has any connections to any companies that might have some things they would donate for our gathering's door prizes, make the call. it does not have to be geared just for crappie. we had a set of jumper cables last year. LOL and i wanted to have a place where we could all let everyone know what we are doing. if we want to rival last year's prizes, it will take a bunch of us. anyway---yall explore the options yall have and i'll keep beating the bushes.

i will start a thread and sticky it around the middle of september so we can all put pics of the prizes we get for the gathering. i think the folks that donate like the publicity and it gets everyone's juices flowing too. yall be looking for that.

doc :)

okay---here is who i have contacted about door prizes. and the results from the inquiries. this way we won't have 8 of us contact the same company for prizes. that might make us seem very unorganized and greedy. LOL

todd huckabee rods-----they will be sending stuff

southern crappie----they will be sending stuff

fishaflauge---they will be sending some crappieflauge stuff

proangler rods---they are not able to send stuff

grizzly jigs---i contacted them about donating some outlaw crappie rods-----haven't heard back

i have contacted southern pro----havent' heard back

i will contact mike echols with hi-tek. just haven't done it yet.

i will contact engle about getting a bait box, or two. hadn't done it yet.

brandon, aka treefrog, will handle BnM and bass pro.

james, southern chuter, will handle ozark rods.

if you contact someone, post it here so we don't double dip. that happened last year and made us look unorganized.

thanks and i will let yall know how my search goes.

i just contacted rod wraps and they are gonna send some stuff. c'mon fellas, don't make me do this alone. LOL

just got off the phone with LEROY at everlasting slip bobbers. he will be making a pretty big donation for us. am i the only one getting excited about this??
