Mike is really working hard to help our community win this year. He has contacted everyone he can think of to ask them to vote. He has collected a list of over 50 emails from people who would like to vote but don't have regular internet access. He has enlisted the help of one of the towns in the American race for Ultimate Fishing Town to vote for us and he is helping them in return. He has contacted newspapers to ask them to ask their readers to vote for us. He has put up notices in the library and had the idea to have a laptop set up in our grocery store so people can vote when they come to shop. All he is asking me to do is write this blog post to encourage anyone reading it to help Temagami win the Ultimate Fishing Town.
But what to say? I don't like to ask people for anything. I feel badly about spamming all of my friends on Twitter and Facebook with posts about having voted yet again for Temagami. As if that is what they want to hear about from me...
But I want to encourage people to help Temagami win the World Fishing Network's Ultimate Fishing Town contest. There's $25,000 at stake, most if not all going to help our community's fish hatchery to help the walleye population in area lakes and some media coverage if we win first place. It's a close race between Hastings, Port Colborne and Temagami. We were briefly in first place earlier this week but we are slowly losing ground. We are a small community with only 1000 full time residents spread across Temagami and Marten River (32 km away) and it's pretty hard to convince everyone in town to vote four times a day or to vote at all. There are lots of people who are voting regularly and quite a few who are going above and beyond to help our town win but we need more help. Would you be willing to help?
