313. F ishing T r ip
Don’t let this one get away! Three expert fishermen will guide nine elementary children on a day-long trout fishing expedition Saturday, June 9th, 2012. Rest easy knowing these experts happen to be none other than MSB dads Don Eisel, Shawn McFaul and Bruce Palmer. Each dad will take care of three kids and this includes sharing all sorts of fishing tips and stories as well as providing all equipment and lunch. No fishing experience is required and they will not be in boats, simply alongside a river. Your kids will fall for this adventure: hook, line and sinker! For nine elementary kids ages 6-12.
