I was reading through the Huntingdon Daily News yesterday,  and I came across the announcement of a "Junior//Adult" fishing tournament to be held at Raystown Lake - James Creek Boat Launch.  Not exactly big news since tournaments take place all summer long, but this one will be near my home.   Furthermore the organizers/organization title, Fishers of Men got my attention. 

From what I saw at their Website, this will be a contest open to all.   You may direct all inquiries to Milton Brown, Division Director. Evening calls - (814) 479-4232, Daytime calls - (814) 242-5267 or email Miltonbrwn@yahoo.com
