Sponsorship
The
State Bank Group was the proud sponsor of the 2005 Chain O' Lakes
PWT Youth Event
• Coloring
Contest
The State Bank Group sponsored the 2005 PWT Fox Chain O' Lakes Youth
Event. Many coloring contest winners were selected from seventeen participating
grammar schools for the privilege of meeting the pros at the Antioch
VFW Hall on April 16th. Winners had the thrill of meeting with
the pros to talk about their top-of-the-line equipped boats and be able
to ask the pros questions about knot tying, baiting hooks, tackle, and
boat safety. Each winner received special recognition for their artwork
and many prizes awarded by The State Bank Group and other PWT sponsors.
The PWT professional anglers represent the best of the best and generously
shared their walleye adventures with the kids. For the winners of the
coloring contest, it was truly a memorable event.
• Essay Contest
Four
High Schools participated in an essay contest for a chance to fish with
the PWT pros. In 75 words or less, the students needed to tell The State
Bank Group why they should be selected for the opportunity to fish with
a professional angler on the Fox Chain O' Lakes during the Professional
Walleye Trail Youth Event.
Each winner also had the privilege of meeting the pros at the Antioch
VFW Hall on April 17th. The winners and their parents joined their respective
pro at Halings Resort and Marina and departed for a memorable day on
the Chain.
• Fish
with a Pro Angler
The State Bank Group sponsored six entries to the amateur line-up of
the PWT. These lucky winners fished with the PWT pro anglers and competed
for great prizes.
The pro fields were limited to only the best. The maximum field size
was 120 boats. Amateur partners experienced three days of competitive
fishing alongside their pro partners, using the pro's tackle, and even
fishing for the combined "boat weight." The PWT is "Power
Fishing." This chance of a lifetime became reality for these six
lucky winners as they learned the pro's strategies and tactics and learned
every walleye trick.
