I hope this method of prize selection works out. I am going to try to let the winners select their prize based on their finish in the drawing.
So Jon Rossmiller AKA Jonboy, you’re up first. Please reply here or send me a private message and let us know which of the 15 prizes you choose. The prizes are listed below. If any of the winners have questions about the prizes please send me a private message.
If ALL WINNERS would please make a reply here that will help us know that you’ve seen this announcement. If any of you know one of the winners, please contact them and tell them to check in here at IDA soon. If we don’t hear from winners within a reasonable time we’ll move on to the next person in line to keep things moving along.
Once Jon selects his prize we will move on to #2 and so on, until all 15 prizes are assigned.
We also had a separate drawing for all the site guardians who signed up for the drawing. These are members who have donated to IDA over the years. The winner is John Kutz, AKA Kooty. Jon wins a decorative IDA paddle made by our own Mr.Muskie (Doug). Thank you for the donation Doug! Congratulations John. I believe your prize is available at Hooked on Fishing. Let us know if you need someone to pick it up for you.
And thanks to all the site guardians who have helped keep IDA running over the years. I also want to thank all of the IDA site sponsors who helped make this possible, and who make it possible for us to have a wonderful home on the internet, In-DepthAngling.com. Thank you!
