Salmon Classic at Sooke Harbour Resort
Lindsay Beckett
Thank you to all of you for participating in the 2012 Vancouver Island Salmon Classic at Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina. The weather was beautiful, the company was incredible, and the food and music were un-beatable thanks to the local caterer Kyle and Cindy Hack of “Flavor the Coast” and the talented musicians of one of our favorite bands “Dead Reckoning”. We’re hoping that we can bring back the event next year with even more participation and energy.
Congratulations to the winning team, Team Reel Excitement, led by their trusted and talented guide Al Kennedy and Team Captain Grady Perkins with the top weighed in King Salmon of 29.6 lbs. That salmon brought them a grand prize of $15,000.
Thanks to all the local support we were also able to raise $1,140 for the Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society.
Special thanks to the following businesses for their raffle and prize donations:
Island Outfitters, Eagle Eye Outfitters, True Key Hotels and Resorts, Barb the Barber, Butch Cassidy Spices, Rhys Davis Limited, Dr Morin & Joslin Optometrists, Allan Poole of Royal LePage Realty, Bear Mountain Golf Resort, The Crab Shack, Village Food Markets, SG Power, Olympic View Golf Course, Salvatore's Hair Design, AdrenaLINE Zipline Tours, Sooke Home Hardware, and Canadian Tire.
