If you're in the Glen Rose area on Saturday, February 6, 2010, I would encourage you to attend this event. It will honor Al for all he has done for fly fishing and for local clubs, including the Fort Worth Fly Fishers. The proceeds from the TFO rods will benefit both Casting for Recovery (which has helped women suffering and surviving breast cancer ) as well Reel Recovery (which benefits men fighting and surviving cancer).

We've seen Al bravely battle his esophageal cancer and felt the pain of his tribulations. As a club, we sought to do something that will make a difference in others' lives--- Al wouldn't have it any other way.

Below is the official announcement:

Al Crise Day

February 6th

Dinosaur State Park

Glenrose, Texas

Come join the club for a fun day, at Dinosaur State Park in Glenrose, Texas. There will be a full days worth of activities, for you to enjoy. There will be fishing in the Paluxy River, casting in the campground areas, or just swapping lies and stories in the pavilion. The main attraction of the day will be to honor our dear friend, and club member, Al Crise. There will be a late afternoon/early dinner in his honor, followed by a time where we will share experiences that we have all had with Al. The evening will end, with a presentation to Al, for his effort, and dedication to our club.

Anyone can enter the park for $5.00 a day. If you are over 65, then you may enter for $3.00 a day. Even better, if you have a State Park pass, you may get in free!!

The pavilion is available from 10am till 9pm. There are picnic tables, seating areas, and a cozy fireplace for us to enjoy.

The recommended donation for the meal will be $25.00. All of the proceeds from this event will go to Reel Recovery and Casting for Recovery.

well, all i can say is WOW!!! Over 100 in attendance, with a few that came all of the way from Kansas, Arkansas, and Louisianna!! the day was filled with casting, eating, and story telling. The food turned out great, and everyone had a great time. Over $3,000.00 was raised for two great organizations. And the weather was perfect!!! Very pleased with the outcome, and it definitely shows we can pull off a bigger event. Many of us decided we should do this every year, in honor of Al, and continue the work of the two charities we helped today. I am sure vernon will post up the pics from the day, soon. Thank you to everyone who came.

here are some pics from the day. after it's huge success, we are planning on having this day every year!!

Looks like it was a great event!  I would have come just for the food!  The rods and casting would have been icing on the cake, dessert maybe.
