After working with the Outreach Program for the Clays to End Hunger event in August, I was thrilled to be asked to capture the Outreach's longest running fundraiser - this Fishing to End Hunger event today and tomorrow. I was blown away by the sportsmanship of the contestants, and the sheer number of those that participated. There were a TON of boats! It was a blessing to be a part of and I can't wait for next year. And again, I met the most amazing people!
(This excerpt is taken from the FTEH website) The Fishing to End Hunger Contest started in 2013. Bar Harbor Supper Club is the host venue, which is beautifully located on Gull Lake. Fishermen and women enjoy a great registration/dinner event held on Friday night before the tournament. On Saturday, they launch from Bar Harbor to fish the Gull Lake Chain in search of walleyes. The tournament benefits The Outreach Program of the Brainerd Lakes Area. Outreach BLA provides meals to soup kitchens, food shelves, community meal programs, shelters, churches and wherever there is a need for food. No child, regardless of age; should be worried about where their next meal is coming from. Located in Nisswa, Minnesota; their focus is that 80-90% of the meals they package will be distributed in Minnesota. The remaining 10-20% will be used for disaster relief and/or international distribution. The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes was founded in 2012. As a humanitarian food aid organization, Outreach BLA packages and distributes 10 different meals.

My hubby works for this great company and they have been voted the #1 HVAC company for 2021 in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Pretty proud of him and all the guys he works with. It's a great place and makes going to work wonderful for him when he has made such great friends with his co-workers and boss! The last photo I shared is the ad that was placed in the Brainerd Dispatch. (Yes, I am in one of them... the original plan was to have my whole family included but my kids couldn't join us. I was honored to be included but think that the photo they chose for the newspaper is the best).
I have been asked to capture the first annual Clays to End Hunger event. The event is going to support the Lakeshore Conservation Club, the Outreach Program, and Mount Ski Gull. There are two events to compete in: trap and skeet and there are 4 categories: Female (18+), Senior (65+), Youth (17-), and overall best shooter. As a trap shooter myself, I know the challenge of this two-day competition and it's so awesome to see so many people here in support of an incredible organization (especially because it rained on us a bit both days). The friendships cultivated through sporting events like this are priceless and last a lifetime. I have met the most incredible and generous people these two days. Congratulations to all who competed and won!
