appearance at the festival on Saturday truly helped to make the day special for those in
attendance.
A special thanks to the catering/design staff at Leonard Nesbit Designs who created a
wonderful reception in the North Pavilion at the Massena Intake to welcome the Tackle Warehouse Championship anglers and staff.
The beautiful Massena Intake-made possible through the generous support of the New York Power Authority-has become our precious resource to hold events like this, and we are grateful to NYPA for this facility.
Thank you all for so much time and effort expended to make this such a successful week. We look forward to future Massena fishing tournaments & events.
