The
third annual "North Country Troopers Assisting the Troops" guided
fishing trip for our servicemen and women was held at Frink Park in Clayton, on
Saturday, September 19th. Over 80
soldiers were taken out fishing by local charter fishing guides from three area
communities (Clayton, Alexandria Bay, and Cape Vincent). They were then brought back to the main dock
in a parade of the fishing boats where they were cheered by a large crowd of
troopers, firemen and civilians who came
to support our troops.
Gold-Mountain (Bob and Patty) produced a short video clip of the event:
Shortly after uploading our video we received
a note from Mike Pastuf who is the Secretary of Troopers Assisting Troops. He thanked us for our production and
encouraged us to help get the word out so that more people will be there to
cheer next year. You can stay tuned to
this blog for more details about next year's event as they become
available. Patty has also written an
article about it with more pictures for the Thousand Islands Life Magazine.
