So, Port Alberni did manage to come out near the top of the Leader Board in this contest, for Round One.   

Now, we are into the Finals. Again even at this early stage, it has become apparent we are looking at a two-horse race between Dauphin Manitoba and Port. And again Dauphin is pulling out all the stops to try and wrestle this title away from BC. In fact, they have a slight lead at this point (Hope they ain't cheating... again    )

A Great Many LOUD Thanks to those who helped us carry the day in Round One! Your support is extremely Appreciated!
Now, we are asking you to Please step up to the task again, and help bring this victory home to where it belongs - British Columbia!! 

Please vote and vote often - you can do so every 12 hours on this site: http://www.wfn.tv/ultimate-fishing-town/vote

If we are Lucky enough to carry the day through your efforts, the funding will be utilized to support a handful of Mom and Pop Enhancement Programs through-out the Valley, and NOT sucked up by any form of government. They, and our local resources could really use the input Folks! I do very much hope you can help!! 

Cheers,
Nog

Some rather interesting developments while I was away playing with a few more fish!

In Manitoba, the provincial government has stepped up to the plate, and offered to match the funds being offered by the WFN in the case that the Manitoba entry (Dauphin) wins. Story here: http://www.brandonsun.com/breaking-news/Government-will-match-fishing-vote-prize-for-Dauphin-102654979.html?thx=y

Ominous silence from the Provincial Government here in BC (no real surprise I guess), kinda makes one wonder if they are working on a strategy to relieve Port Alberni of the funds in the case that we actually do carry the day! 

And in OnTerrible, it now appears that the entire Province has gotten behind their dark horse entry of Nestor Falls! Related story here: http://www.kenoradailyminerandnews.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2751835

Despite all of the attention being directed by the opposition, Port Alberni is managing to barely maintain the lead. At this point we need all the votes we can muster Folks, and your input can help with this matter! Please help us carry the day, and bring the title of Ultimate Fishing Town home to BC where is so much belongs! Your consideration and support in this matter is HUGELY Appreciated! 

Cheers,

So... the voting site crashed (at least out here in the West it did) for many hours yesterday.   

Although the site is up and running now, we lost over 2000 plus votes last night due to the crash and the time difference for routines. The papers should report THAT! Have to make it up big time now folks. We need lots of legitimate votes going in every 12 hrs. Nestor Falls would have been just completing theirs before the crash and Port was just firing up! This am we were only 20 apart. We are back on top with only 800 now. Gotta widen that gap big time. Nestor only is a resort community of 700 but are using their clients list (with permission)to submit. I figure they have at least 2000 on their list so get voting and spread the link around to vote for Port Alberni all across your contacts.

We GOTTA bring this one home to BC Folks! Your help is certainly appreciated!!

News out of Nestor Falls: http://fftimes.com/node/236691

I am uncertain if what they are doing and promoting is even "legal" within the terms of this particular contest   
One thing for sure is but it certainly isn't anything even resembling "Fair Play"   

Nor are these repeated occasions of the voting site failure. Given the timing of these, it is almost guaranteed to favor OnTerrible's cause. Today's downtime coincides with the same timing as yesterday, and a couple other incidences of the same in the first round of voting. They almost appear to be designed to ensure Eastern votes are in for the day whereas most folks out west are just getting home and considering entering their input for the day. In all the occasions this site has failed in the past, the East, as a consequence, surges forward in voting numbers to catch, and indeed even surpass those entered for Port. Their line (WFN) is that since the site is down everywhere, that voting is not effected in favor of any particular region. But the TIMING of these collapses and the subsequent results thereof suggest something entirely different. Hate to think that the Ontario based WFN would be intentionally involved in any such shenanigans, but would certainly like to see that spelled out in black & white at this point!

In each case the East has caught up to or overtaken us, we have managed to surge forward again in the course of the day. This is completely due to the support of those who vote for Port out here and elsewhere. Given the tactics taken by Nestor Falls, we need ALL of your support once again, and for the duration of the contest are we to realize a Victory for BC! THANKS for carrying the ball for us People! VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!  

Please continue to offer your support for Port & BC! I don't know when their site will be back up, but once it is, I encourage each of you to cast a vote for the Best Fishing Province BAR NONE! Let's bring it home now Folks!   

Cheers,
Nog

Seems a little fishy to me.

[IronNoggin]

So... After struggling through yet another of these suspicious periods of the vote site being down yet again (last night and much of this morning) their site is now back up and running - although just a tad slow... Biggest surprise of the week is that OnTerrible didn't collect a massive lead over BC!   

Still very much anyone's race folks! Methinks ya'll know just what to do about that!! 

Go BC GO!!!
