Fowler Center’s Fishing Fundraiser

The Fowler Center in Mayville, Michigan has provided year-round camping and outdoor learning experiences for children and adults with developmental disabilities and special needs since 1957. This includes people with mental and physical challenges, autism, traumatic brain injuries, and sensory and communication challenges. The Fowler Center serves thousands each year and its goal is to offer a safe and comfortable environment so campers leave with memories of an enjoyable away-from-home experience, as well as new-found self-esteem, friendships, and pride.

The Fowler Center

The Fowler Center will be hosting its 18th Annual Ice Fishing Tournament on February 16th, 2013 where all proceeds will go to the camp. There will be two fishing sessions at 7:30-11:30am and 1:30-5:30pm, entrance fees to each are $20 for fishermen 17+ and $5 for those under 17. Cash prizes available for first pike, largest fish, smallest fish, youngest fisherman with a fish, and a $7,000 gran prize! There will also be concessions, raffles, door prizes and more.

Behold the New Face of Fishing Fury

If you haven’t noticed, or maybe this is your first time visiting, we’ve made some major changes to the site recently. We’ve deployed an entirely new theme for the main site designed to responsively adapt to different screen sizes. That means the website should look just as great on your tablets and phones as it does your desktop.

Fishing Fury

We’ve still got a few more bell and whistles to unveil, but first we’re working hard to fix some of our old content so that it looks better under the new format. It’s not an easy task considering we have over 8 years worth of content, but in some ways it’s enjoyable to go back to those early moments in our history. I hope you won’t mind reliving some of those moments with me in some upcoming throwback style posts.

If you’re interested you can find some screenshots of what the site looked like years ago in our archives. For historical purposes I’ve also taken a quick screenshot of the previous theme.

As always if you find something that’s broken, missing, or just feel like getting in touch with us you can leave a comment below or email us at [email protected].

  1. All fish must be legally caught in 2012 under the stated rules of your local department of natural resources. No out of season fish will be accepted for this contest. In some cases we may ask you to give us help finding this information to confirm your catch.

  2. At least two high-resolution (4 megapixel or greater) digital photos. We want the ones straight off your digital camera, no photoshopping or colour correcting allowed. Just the raw photos please. This is a requirement of the grand prize, though you could still potentially win secondary prizes with a low resolution photo, the higher resolution the better.
