CCSO, local businesses and members of the community came together Saturday, Sept. 24, to honor 100 service personnel and veterans at the Take A Soldier Fishing event in Goodland. The event kicked off at the Calusa Island Marina, where forty boats awaited the group for a day of redfish and trout fishing. Upon their return, they were greeted by a large crowd filled with community members and a group of Harley Davidson riders, who thanked them for their service. The fishing trip was followed by a weigh-in, entertainment, plenty of food, raffles and a live auction benefiting the Wounded Warriors Project. The 2011 Take A Solider Fishing event was a great success and made possible thanks to generous donors from the community.
