You can’t have a fishing morning without poles in little hands.
Bass Pro Shops made sure of it. The first fifty kids who registered, ages three and up, went home with a free fishing pole of their own, no strings attached. For a lot of these kids, it was the first pole that ever belonged to just them.
Bass Pro Shops has been outfitting Ozarks families for generations. On this particular morning, they outfitted ours, one pole at a time, for kids who are still learning what it feels like to have something new that’s theirs to keep.
Thank you, Bass Pro Shops, for putting a pole in every hand that reached for one.
In the Ozarks, this is what community looks like.
