Jet & Gitt,
Thanks for the quick replies.
My first concern was getting younger people in the door. I think with the proximity to the urban population base there should be a better chance of people bringing their children to the event. Especially if we promote the heck out of the "Youth Fair" portion of it.
We may even be able to have a school field trip bring some students over on Friday for some instruction.
One of my ideas, still in the idea phase, was to incorporate the BSA FF Merit Badge into one of the "On the Water" events on Sunday. Do you have information regarding the time it takes to get the badge? Maybe we can get the scouts most of the way done on the badge and turn them loose to hit the water as a group at a later date, or arrange a follow up with the local clubs to finish it off the next weekend?
Do you think that there would be interest from BSA? I know it would not hurt us to have them advertising the event as well. They do have a big network in Northern California.
Other ideas included seminars on the Mokelumne, Camanche, Calaveras, Stanislaus, etc...
My head has been swimming with ideas the last couple of days. I am haunted by ideas...
Anyone that would like to help out please let me know by email. drocksvold at amadorflyfishers dot org or dustin at rocksvold dot com.
Keep the suggestions coming,
Dustin
