"I just wanted to take a moment to let all of you know how much my son enjoyed Saturday . It was a great day with all kinds of wonderful activities. He enjoyed them all! I also wanted to thank all of you for your time and effort in putting together this activity for all the kids. We appreciate all your hard work. We also wanted to thank [an event volunteer] for bringing his bass boat out for the kids. I know it gets hard finding people willing to do this. Everyone was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable, you could tell they all enjoyed being there instructing the kids. Again thank you so much and we can't wait till next year!"

"A huge thank you to all the staff & owners for an awesome day!  The kids had opportunities to experience skills that they otherwise would not.  I think we have a new love for fishing & archery and am looking forward to information from [an event volunteer] about the archery club/class.  A special thanks to [two fishing volunteers] for all their help baiting hooks & teaching how to cast.  My daughter can't wait to go fishing again. I guess I have to get brave enough to bait the hook myself!  Thanks again!"
