The lake has been restocked with some brown trout and we hope there are a few rainbows left in there from the fall.

Well, the fish did not cooperate. No one caught any trout!

But...we had a great lunch from Wegman's and a terrific raffle where everyone (participants and volunteers) won something. We had Engel tumblers (thanks to NoVA CCA), Mission BBQ $25 gift cards, Wegman's #25 Gift Cards, TFO rods (2 of them) and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Lots of happy faces...

As one lady said, we are guaranteed a good bite at lunch!

It's amazing how much our veterans appreciate these events. It never ceases to surprise me.
