TPFR Holiday Party/December Beer Tie next Monday, December 11 with Big Raffle and Ugly Sweaters

[Dalton Terrell]

Our annual Holiday Party and December Beer Tie is coming up next Monday, December 11 at Whitlow's on Wilson in the Sandbar. Doors open at 6PM and and you'll get booted at 10PM. As always, we'll have a beer special and half-priced burgers.

We're going big on the raffle this year with multiple rods and bunch of other gear, including the following:

• Orivs Recon 8 weight rod, reel, and line outfit ($750 value)
  
• Fenwick 6wt classic fiberglass rod
• NYC subway-sized rat flies tied by Pat Cohen ($25+ value)
• C&F Designs Fly Box
• Hats
• & More

Raffle tickets will be $5 each or 5 for $20--be sure to buy a bunch for these sweet prizes; proceeds will go to funding our operations and help support future fundraisers and events.

We will also be having an Ugly Sweater Contest; wear your ugliest holiday sweater and win the following prize-pack:

• Display quality (i.e. possibly not fishable but good for the mantle) Montague bamboo rod
• Display quality antique reel
• Set of hip waders--equally as ugly as your sweater

After a lot of concern with last year's contest, we will not be allowing the entry of those wearing full Santa Claus suits.

Rob Snowhite will also be teaching flashy, holiday-themed flies at the beginner table.

Look forward to seeing everyone out next Monday, and we'll be posting image updates before the event.

Thanks,
Dalton

Another reminder, the TPFR Holiday Party and Beer Tie is coming up tonight.

We have a huge raffle with the brand new Orvis Recon 8wt outfit, a classic fiberglass rod, some sweet fly ornaments, nippers, a couple hats, and of course some books.

Also, don't forget to wear your ugly sweater for a chance to win a matching ugly hip waders and bamboo rod.

I hope the young man who was awarded the Montague fly rod grand prize does well with it and has a ton of fun casting it. I didn't get my first bamboo fly rod until I was 40. ☺
