2010 Northern Kentucky Fly Fishers Annual Banquet

          The Northern Kentucky Fly Fishers (NKFF) is a non profit organization that promotes the sport of flyfishing and services the interests of its members. A significant part of NKFF member interest is manifested in direct service to the community. The club's service to the community includes participation and sponsorship of fishing events for children and seniors, monitoring of local rivers, financial support of fish planting in regional waters, manpower assistance to fish hatcheries that enhance fishing opportunities throughout the region, scholarships, and the committment of major NKFF resources to the local implementation of the Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Organization, which gives back to wounded veterans through the sport of fly fishing. The reader is referred to the "Activities and Events" link on the main menu to view a more detailed account of NKFF's service activities.

          The NKFF Annual Banquet is the major fundraising event for the year. A successful banquet is essential to the club's ability to conduct these activities throughout the year. It is an opportunity for NKFF members, families and friends to get together at a fun and entertaining event. It is also an opportunity for the public to meet local fly fishers, find out more about the sport of fly fishing, eat great food, and win great prizes.

          This year's banquet will be exceptionally entertaining due to our guest speaker, Gary Burbank, a nationally known radio personality and satirist. Gary was local radio personality on 700 WLW-AM from 1981 until 2007. His show was a satire of local, regional, and national personalities as well as a cast of characters he created, including Earl Pitts Uhmerickun. He won radio's most prestigious award; the Marconi Award for Large Market Personality of the Year in 1990 and 1991. He was nominated for the National Radio Hall of Fame. He had been a speaker at one of our previous banquets and it was reliably reported that he had people laughing so hard they were rolling on the floor.

          Whether you an NKFF member or a member of the pubic with an interest in supporting fly fishing within your community, come join us for an entertaining time. NKFF members are encouraged to make reservations through the website "Events" menu. The public can make reservations via email. Obtain a copy of the flyer by clicking the icon below.
