We are grateful to the Ounalashka Corporation for the use of their lands, Dixie and Steve Engman for use of their bus, the City of Unalaska, our Board of Directors for their planning and preliminary work—Chris Bobbitt, Matt Lightner, Melanie Magnusen, Shari Coleman, Rose Sevilla and Robi Harris, and our volunteers who assisted with set up, working the tourney and clean up, Chris Bobbitt, Matt Lightner, Rose Sevilla, Campbell McLaughlin and Kelly Stiles. Matt Lightner and Campbell McLaughlin also created a great trophy for us.  And thanks to the ASFA for providing concessions.

We could not put on an event of this size without our financial sponsors:  Alaska Ship Supply, Alaska Vessel Agents, Alyeska Seafoods, APL, Coastal Transportation, Delta Western, Horizon Lines, Iquique US, Kloosterboer, Northern Mechanical, OSI, the Ounalashka Corporation, PacSteve, Red Fish Electronics, UniSea, and Williwaw Services.  We appreciate their generosity.
