For those of you that fished in this years Dreamweaver & Big Jon Challenge, you heard me talk about a young man from Florida that had a dream to go to Alaska and fish from Salmon. With the great turnout and generous support from all the sponsors and participants, YOU all had a part in making the dream of Nick Wallace come true with your generous donation to Benefit4Kids to help us make this possible! Nick recently returned from Alaska on a 7 day trip of a lifetime! The pictures just arrived in the mail today and I wanted to waste no time getting some of them posted up here everyone to see what you all made possible!

Nick and his family arrived in Alaska on August 11th and after a nights rest in Anchorage, they headed for the Great Alaska Adventure Lodge http://www.greatalaska.com (http://www.greatalaska.com/) on the world famous Kenai River for 3 action packed days of fishing! They also enjoyed a couple days exploring the Seward Windsong Lodge http://www.sewardwindsong.com (http://www.sewardwindsong.com/), the Alaska SeaLife Center http://www.alaskasealife.org (http://www.alaskasealife.org/), a Fjords National Park tour, among other scenic drives and adventures!

A local newspaper even did a story on Nick and his experience, which can be found here: http://www.peninsulaclarion.com/stories/081808/new_274457432.shtml

We are proud.....proud and honored to have supporters like you guys! If it weren't for our supporters, we would be nothing and these smiles would not be brought out on the faces of these kids!

It's often said that this couldn't have happened without everyone that pitched in, and that's true enough, but there are some folks that organized and sponsored this and i'd like to tip my hat to them. The ones I know shy from personal glory, so I'll honor that and not point them out, but a special "hats off" to you guys.
