Special thanks to the Gogebic Lodge for the fine job they did in hosting this event, and to Brian Berquist who got stuck at the microphone, but did such a fantastic job of it. Gus and I look forward to hearing your comments on how to improve this event for next year. Some ideas so far, are to hold the Saturday weigh in out of one of our ice shacks (parked at the Gogebic Lodge), Simplify the registration process and make entering the door prize drawings flow more smoothly. Also, reduce the low end prizes and increase the mid range value prizes and add a grand door prize at the end. Give us your thoughts: email: nettie@charterinternet.com or send us a postcard or letter to Maple Ridge, P.O. Box 346, Bergland, MI 49910.
