Hi guys, For those of you that do not know me, I am president of a sports league for kids ages 5-20 with disabilities. We are having our 2nd annual Fishy tournament for our kids on May 15th. from 9-noon, at Panther Creek Park in Daviess Co. Kentucky. If you are in the area or like Soupy was last year and wanted to put some miles on his truck please come out and join us. We at this time have 42 new Zebco 202 combo's to give away and are working on some other thing as well. Zebco ran us a heck of a deal as we are a non-profit. Anyway if it is anything like last year it should be a lot of fun except for the worms and the hooked fish. We have 80 kids on our mailing list and growing. You can see photos of last years event at our web site www.tworiversbuddyball.com or just ask Soupy as he was real good with the camera last year. Thanks Billy Shain |

It had nothing to do with your photo, it was mine. You want this site to grow and I do not want to scare anybody away with my mug.

Well things seem to be coming together. All the folks that gave have bailed on us this year but many people have come onboard to help. At this time we will give the first 42 kids that come to fish a new Zebco 202. Then at the end we will give away 2 Big Bobber coolers that may not work well but look cool as XXXX, and 15 Plano tackle boxes. Zebco,Plano and Rural King has all done these items at a big discount. We may have Chick-Fil-A and Panera Bread doing food and that would free up some of us as to not have to fix food for all the folks. We will keep doing all we can to make this even bigger every year and we seem to be doing that now for this year. Keep us in your thoughts.

Billy, I think you're doing a great job..... Well, I know you are...
I've been askin' around just to see if I could generate an interest in this shin-dig you're puttin' on for them kids.. So far I have found two sponsors that are willin' to donate.....
Don't get me wrong , I'm not taking up money or nuttin' I'm just checking to see if it could happen if I did try....
I've found out real quick that times are hard on everybody right now and getting sponsors is as hard as pulling chickens teeth.
Keep up the good work....
Doctors has giving me the ok for now to come and see you guys in May...as long as I carry my straight jacket with me.

Hi guys, just thought I would share with you the news on what Cabela's sent us today. Last year they sent us 2 real nice tackle boxes and I thought it was great. Today I got this big box in and when I opened it there was 3 combo's, 5 big (32 oz) bags of worms, 5 big mugs, 10 hats, and 10 multi tools. It was like Christmas!!!!
All that puls 4 big duffel bags, 15 tackle boxes, 2 Big Bobber Coolers, and 42 (202) combo's . It should be a big payout for the kids there.

Yes gofish they were a hit. The only thing is they did not use them that day as I waited and had them in the goddie bags for them to take home. A bunch of kids came to me and asked if I had more so I took the ones out of the extra goodie bags and passed them out. (Then they got picky on the color). It was a kids thing!!!
