Gift-giving ideas
|
If you have a fisherman or a theatre enthusiast on your Christmas list, USI may have a gift to rival items on his or her wish list. Top professional bass fishermen will lead the instruction when Bassmaster University brings a two-day course to USI on February 20-21, 2004. Area fishermen can attend this course on bass-catching tips and techniques taught by the 1998 Bass Masters Classic Champion Denny Brauer and other well-known anglers. The course covers mainstream techniques such as plastic worms, crankbaits, topwater, flipping and pitching, and spinnerbaits. It also covers lesser-known techniques such as fishing the floating worm, finesse fishing, and electronics as well as advanced techniques for catching bass from mid-lake structure and when they suspend. Classroom instruction begins at 8 a.m. both days and participants will attend 12 different workshop sessions during the two-day event. Saturday instructors include David Fritts, Tony Bean, and Danny Joe Humphrey with Denny Brauer, Mark Menendez, and Danny Joe Humphrey teaching on Sunday. Activities recess at 3 p.m. both days, but participants are invited to attend a “think tank” question and answer session with instructors until 3:30 p.m. Enrollment fee for the two-day event is $99. Spouses and children under 16 can attend for $50 with a full-paying adult. More details about the program and reservation information are available by calling USI at 812/464-1989. And gift-giving for theatre patrons was never easier. A gift certificate to the New Harmony Theatre is one of the most memorable gifts you can give. Many of the things we give each year are so quickly forgotten, but the experience of an outstanding performance stays with people for a lifetime. And the 2004 season offers something for every taste, from the delightful comedy Sylvia to the charming, funny, and poignant Last Night of Ballyhoo to Cowgirls, a rip-roaring new musical. Gift certificates are available for season tickets and individual performances. Season tickets are sold in packages guaranteeing the same seat for each performance. Adult season tickets are $55; $50 for seniors (60+)/students; and $46 for groups of 20 or more. Individual performance prices vary. You can order online at www.usi.edu/nht/ticket.asp or call the box office toll free at 877/648-7469. For Christmas delivery, tickets should be ordered by December 16. |
