Hello everyone! Get ready for our 28th annual derby on August 3rd. This year, fishing will take place in marine areas 11 and 13, with some amazing prizes up for grabs. The 1st place winner will receive $3000, 2nd place gets $2000, and 3rd place gets $1000. Participants placed 4th to 10th will have the option to choose from a selection of high-quality merchandise prizes. Tickets are priced at $40, and all paid tickets are eligible for raffle prizes. You can buy as many tickets as you like. Additionally, tickets for youth aged 14 and under are free. Youth prizes include $100 for 1st place, $75 for 2nd place, and $50 for 3rd place. To be eligible for general derby prizes, youth participants must have a paid $40 ticket. We also have a special prize for a Gig Harbor PSA member who catches the biggest fish, available exclusively to paid members. If you’re not a member or need to renew your membership, make sure to do so before August 3rd to be eligible for the club prize. Tickets can be purchased in person at various locations or online at www.gigharborpsa.org.
We have a couple of upcoming events: the board meeting on August 6th at 6 pm at Ben Dew’s Clubhouse, 6501 6th Ave, Tacoma, WA, and the general meeting on August 14th at 7 pm at Tower Lanes, 6323 6th Ave, Tacoma, WA. Both events are open to all, so we encourage everyone to attend and get involved.
A big thank you to all our derby sponsors! Make sure to express your gratitude if you meet any of them. Their support is invaluable, and the derby’s success depends on it. Special thanks also go to all the dedicated volunteers who play a crucial role in making the derby a success. It’s through everyone’s effort that we’re able to pull off this fantastic event for our club.
Have a great Month!
