**BigBendFishing.net Social 2007 Sponsor drive**

Post by **Chalk** » September 12th, 2006, 6:46 pm

Myself and Tom Keels would like to announce the start of the planning for the Fourth Annual BigBendFishing.net Social 2007 - If you are not familiar with the Social event, it is basically a chance to meet fellow site patrons of BigBendFishing.net, there is generally too much food, alot of door prizes and a tremendous amount of fun. It will be held the last Saturday in February in Sopchoppy, Florida.

The event would not be possible without the support of the site patrons or the gracious support of the event sponsors. To see last years event sponsors you can look at last years Planning page, as well as the banners that run at the top of each page. This year we are offering three tiers of sponsorship, giving anyone wanting to contribute to the Social some options, they are as follows:

Presenting Sponsor - Only one position is available with this sponsorship, the company that chooses this option will be announced as the Presenter of Bigbendfishing.net Social 2007, Listed on the event shirts as "Bigbendfishing.net Social 2007 presented by [company name] and receive one year of banner advertisements (large and small banners) - Cost $500.00 money only donation

Featured Sponsor - Company name will be listed on the back of the event shirts, one year of large banner advertisements - Cost $150.00 money or merchandise

Bigbendfishing.net Social Sponsor - Company name will be listed on the back of the event shirts. - Cost $100.00 money or merchandise

Donations can be money, merchandise or a combination of the two, your choice with exception to the Presenting Sponsor category.

A sample of last years shirt logo can be seen here - Sample 2006 shirt logo

One year of large banner advertisement for the site is $300.00 alone, not counting each event shirt that will have your company's name on it .

Any donation is accepted, if you want to contribute a pack of lures, hat or magazine subscription, etc., we would greatly appreciate the contribution. The above is mainly geared towards business's, but individual sponsorship is appreciated the same.

This post is for you site patrons, if you know of a company or your own business that would like to become part of the BigBendFishing.net family, this is your chance to contribute to the site and the event.

If you would like to sponsor this years event please let myself and Tom Keels know by emailing us for more details - chalk@knology.net and tomkeels@gmail.com

Bigbendfishing.net is supported by patron support and advertisement

You are all welcome.
BBF has been good to me- providing lots of Fishing advice, fun conversations and customers.
I would have hated for someone else to grab the top spot!

Heck- I think I took home almost that much loot at the social last year!
No that was Lit....

Thanks Bman. You saved me $500 bucks. Not to mention a couple thousand in abuse.

Man we're rollin' already.

What a coincidence; one day you sell my house, the next your the featured sponsor.

Just kidding Barry.

If any of you are looking for a realtor Barry does a fine job.

Thanks for the selling the house and the sponsorship. Money well spent.
