Other features of this year's fundraiser event include a free lunch, door prizes, silent and live auctions for sporting good merchandise.
All fund raised will go towards current and future projects by the Chilliwack River Action Committee.
Projects by CRACPast and ongoing projects by CRAC include stabilization of the Slesse Park and Tolmie clay slides, creation of spawning channels, nutrient enhancement. For more information on projects, please visit
their website.
By supporting this, you are not only helping them to help the river, but also create better fishing in the future. More spawning channels and higher nutrients mean more fish. Stabilization of the clay slides means more fishing days as the river will less likely to be dirty during heavy rainfalls. I urge you all to buy at least one ticket.
Tickets are available at local tackle stores in Chilliwack. They are also available from me if you are around Richmond (please pm or email to set up a time to get them from my place).
