2008 Contest: Home Waters Contest
Everyone has a fishing story to tell, especially young people. They are invited to share their stories with Kathryn through letters and pictures. Two lucky entries will be selected and revealed by Kathryn as she visits the boy and girl at their school. At that time she will make the thrilling announcement that the young star will be heading out for a day of fishing, sharing memories and stories about their home waters as they are being filmed for TV. Kathryn will also visit with friends and family who appreciate what makes the young angler such a sportsperson. They will share family photos and stories that will be included in the show.

To enter, snail mail Kathryn the required elements before August 31, 2008. You must be between the ages of 5-14.

A drawing or photo that shows any of the following:
• What your home waters look like.
• What your favourite fish is or the biggest fish you’ve caught.
• Who your fishing buddy is.
A letter to Kathryn describing why you should win and including the following info:
• Why fishing is important to you.
• Who taught you how to fish.
• PARENTS – Why your daughter or son is such a great fisher.

Please send your photo/drawing, letter and entry form to Kathryn Maroun before August 31, 2008
