Talking First Sponsorship Deal

Got my first sponsorship deal. The shop next to me which is run by two guys in their spare time donated 60$ to the cause of me fishing. So it aint like i got berkeley or somethin but i got 60$. Probably nothin compared to what you guys have but you got to start somewhere.

So more about the sponsor: (i guess this is my job now ) they are a shop that two gus (my neighbor and his friend) run not to make a profit but to have a funtime and build stuff. (furniture, cabinets, lockers, they also plane wood). They also have a morning breakfast every saturday where men and boys (no women allowed) can come together eat and fellowship.

Aint a "real spnosor" some may say, but its cool that people support me. Leave any commments about this or your sponsors. Still this is really cool.
