Cast and Blast Giveaway Announced

Back to Press Releases

It’s a sportsman’s dream come true: a two-day, three-night cast and blast vacation for you and a friend courtesy of Captain Ryan Lambert and Cajun Fishing Adventures. Round-trip airfare for two is also included, provided by Vanishing Paradise.

Cajun Fishing Adventures, named one of the top five lodges in the North America by Sport Fishing magazine, is located is the heart of the Mississippi River delta. The area is known for its fresh and saltwater marshes-and the hunting and fishing opportunities those marshes provide.

“The winner of this trip will be able to experience some of finest saltwater fishing and waterfowl hunting anywhere in the world,” said Land Tawney, the National Wildlife Federation’s senior manager for sportsmen leadership. “But unfortunately, this ‘Sportsman’s Paradise’ is also a ‘Vanishing Paradise.’ Every 38 minutes another area of coastal marsh the size of a football field slides into the Gulf. We have solutions-all we need is the political will to implement them.”

Vanishing Paradise also announced the winner of its 2010 Grand Giveaway: Richard Burton of Sedro Woolley, Washington will receive a two-person, two-day hunting trip with Mike Smith of Louisiana Duck Hunts, as well as tickets from Seattle to New Orleans and accommodations in the heart of downtown New Orleans.

“I’ve heard all about the amazing hunting and fishing along Louisiana’s coast and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to experience it for myself,” Burton said. “I’m also honored to be supporting Vanishing Paradise’s campaign to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the delta.”

To enter the 2011 Grand Giveaway, contestants need to be at least 18 years old, and entries must be received online by July 31, 2011. One lucky winner will be selected by a random drawing. Enter online and see complete rules at www.vanishingparadise.org.
