Getting a Hook on Cancer

It is Relay for Life time around Washington County and that means drive thru dinners, raffle tickets, and random fundraisers just about everywhere you look. One of those fundraisers we look forward to participating in every year is "Getting a Hook on Cancer." This event started about 6 years ago in honor of "Schotts" Jasinski who lost a hard fought battle to the evil disease. Since then many families have joined in as they have been affected by the "Big C" and this event is one worth being a part of. There is a fishing tournament that requires teams to weigh in around 2pm at the Rodenbeck camp. At weigh in time, a band is in full swing, bbq is served fresh off the pit, silent auction items are battled over, and friends and family come out to be a part of this awesome event and donate to a worthy cause. Wes and I attempt to "help out" where we can. Wes always fishes in the tournament and this year the kids got in on the kids tournament. I am kicking myself for not taking a picture of the monster bass that was caught this year. It helped Wes & Todd place in a few categories. I am not much on fishing, but it was fun watching the kids get excited about catching fish and the boys finally got to wear their "real" fishing shirts that Santa brought them.

Love this expression on Avery's face as she watches the fish being weighed in.
