TUC Tackle Swap/BRS Used Drift Boat Sale - A Look Back

These two events in early April went very well. 

We had four drift boats, a jon boat and a pontoon boat on display outside. 

 Inside, long time TUC-Bow River Chapter volunteers felt that this year's tackle swap was on of the best they'd ever seen. A total of 24 tables were booked by sellers, which is pretty much the max for that room. And the sellers brought LOTS of stuff! On the buyers side, a very large number showed up, and they purchased a LOT of stuff. 

In past years, the crowds tended to begin thinning out shortly after 11 am. Not this year. It continued to be fairly busy, almost to the end at noon. 

 Kudos to TUC-Bow River Chapter volunteer George Samaha. This was his first year organizing this event. Volunteer Steve Fairley assisted. 

George wrote: "Craig Robillard was there for a great hand off and help where needed."

TUC-Bow River Chapter volunteer George Samaha (centre) coordinated his very first "Tackle Swap". And a very successful one at that!

Bow River Shuttles writes: "Craig was the coordinator of this event 10 years ago when we first participated as a 'joint partner' with our Used Drift Boat Sale. And we know he had already been doing this for several years prior. It's always a pleasure working with Craig."
