National Fishing & Boating Week: June 4-12, 2005
National Fishing and Boating Week, June 4 - 12, 2005, is a fantastic opportunity for families to spend time together on the water. It's a special week, filled with events nationwide that provide families an opportunity to reconnect, create new memories and have fun together on the water. In 2004, former NFL coach Jimmy Johnson served as honorary chairperson of National Fishing and Boating Week! Stay tuned to see who's invovled with this year's celebration.
During National Fishing and Boating Week 2005, hundreds of communities across the country will host fishing and boating events designed to give families the opportunity to participate in these great pastimes.
Coach Johnson expressed his enthusiasm for being asked to chair the 2004 event, "I'm thrilled to be a part of this American celebration of the outdoors." "I have many, many fond memories of fishing and boating, from when I was a little kid right up to today. For me, there's no greater way to relax and enjoy life than to be out on the water bonding with my family and friends." Coach Johnson lives in the Florida Keys and spends much of his time fishing, boating and scuba diving. Every year, more than 50 million Americans participate in fishing and boating - that's more people than play golf and tennis combined. Participation not only connects people with nature, it also helps to fund the management and conservation of local aquatic environments. So get the family involved!
