I want thank all the FNN'ers for stopping by the booth so far. It's great to put faces to those who post and make this site interesting and fun. I put a lot effort in researching this true and untold story of "freedom through fishing" by the those incarcerated behind barbed wire and found a way to help them cope through a very dark time in American history.

I hope more FNN members will stop by this weekend and support this important historical project.

I had the chance to visit the Manzanar Exhibit at the Fred Hall show yesterday show and it is nothing short of superb!

Make sure to treat yourself to the short video presentation that Cory is screening throughout each day of the show, as it is FILLED with some truly incredible stories!

Also be sure to take the time to view all the historic photos he has assembled and support Cory and his project in any way you can!

Cory (Fear No Trout) has done a great job and his hard work shows in every aspect of this exhibit!

Enjoy!

Great exhibit. Very interesting history that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. Good luck with the project. Wish I would have had more time, but the show was closing. I will definately plan on a side trip by the site on my next trip to the sierras.

[Ladyfish]

Cory it was so nice to meet you. You have done a wonderful job as historian for this project. I was very moved by your display, they movie was wonderful and the pictures and stories were very touching. I love my fish I bought from you! :Smile:
Everyone that goes to the Fred Hall really should stop here--it is something you will not want to miss!

Cory, ditto what Ladyfish typed, ecxept for the fish part. Also great to chat with you and your coworkers there in the booth. I'm thinking of framing that LTD Ed t-shirt and giving it to my Mom who was also in an internment camp in Poston, AZ. Fantastic display there at the show, highly recommended for everyone to see some of American history. I commend you and your staff for your efforts.
After writing the info on all those tickets, got a cure for carpul tunnel syndrome? :P

[Granny Fish]

Hope to be able and stop by. If we get out to the show this time it is likely not going to be till Sunday.

[olfishergal]

See you there on Sunday!!! Can't wait to see the exhibit.......OFG

[fishndrinknsmokin]

Great presentation, Cory! Being an American of Japanese descent, Manzanar has always been of interest to me and when you throw in trout fishing this was something that had to be seen, IMO. I unfortunately did not get to see the entire DVD presentation because of time constraints and was wondering if you are selling copies or have plans to post it on You Tube on another medium.

Thank you for the work and showing a silver lining to a dark period of American history!

Peace out...FDS
