> Hello fellow fish lovers,
> Well last Wednesday and Thursday was the Michigan Envirothon state
>competition. It consisted of about 30 teams from across the state(yes, even
>the team who drove 11 hours from Houghton county). It was held at Grand
>Valley State University in Grand Rapids. After the big testing day, we were
>able to get 1st place in the aquatics, and 1st in the wildlife divisions.
>We
>were very close to 1st place in the other divisions, in fact, they had to
>recount(does that sound familiar to you? :). We had been working on a
>drainage ditch filter strip(buffer strip) project we set up, and presented
>that to the judges. For the whole competition, though, we ended up in 2nd
>place in the state. Each person on our 5 person team was awarded with a
>$750
>cash prize. If we would have gotten in first place, which was extremely
>close
>to our score, we would have gone to the international competition in Nova
>Scotia, and a lot more money. Well I am very happy to recieve $750(much of
>which will go towards college), and feel honored to be the team that knew
>the
>most about aquatics in the state. If it wasn't for NANFA, I'm sure we would
>not have done so well. NANFA has helped keep me interested, and I owe much
>of
>the thanks to NANFA, thanks!
>P.S How much would a cheap underwater video camera cost? hehe Thanks
>again!
