Winston-Salem, NC – This is Operation North State’s sixth season of hosting Top Shelf Fishin’ Festivals. In 2018, we will once again host eight Fishin’ Festivals throughout North Carolina. Thanks to the Host Communities, Host Boaters, NC’s premier products/brands/logos and Grassroots supporters and volunteers for making the Festivals possible. If you and/or someone you know would like to participate, give ONS a call.
We’re always in need of Host Boaters, door prizes, cash donations, cover dishes, etc. We are always in need of anglers who would like to take a wounded warrior fishing one-on-one, donate used fishing gear to the wounded warriors / DVets, and we need a few farm ponds / lakes in the Triad area to take wounded warriors / DVets fishing one-on-one.
Lend a hand if you can.
