Good morning! Thank you everyone for coming out this weekend and for helping make year 2 such a great success. We will post pictures of the winners later today! We need a hand with a few things-

SILENT AUCTION:
If you bid on a silent auction item and did not pay, you have until 10am this morning or it will go to the next highest bidder. We will be at the barn from 8am - 10am today so you can close out and pick out your items.

PHOTOS:
We would love to see photos that you took of the event and your fishing adventures. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and tag Ocracoke Red Drum Shootout.

CLEAN UP CREW:
We could use a few extra strong hands at the barn from 8-10. Skip the gym today and stop by the barn this morning. I hear there might be yummy pastries from Ocracoke Coffee Company.

Thanks so much!
