White Fox man offers local families a ‘reel’ good time
A business owner in White Fox is casting a line out to needy families in his community.
Dean Foster, Owner of Buddha’s Bait Shop, has been collecting used fishing rods and gear for a few weeks. Starting Thursday, the gear can be signed out by anyone.
“I grew up a little on the streets, and I’m still grateful for the day my aunt gave me a fishing rod and took me fishing,” he said. “It kind of changed my life.”
Foster said he’s had a great response so far to his Fixed for Fishing program and thinks it will be a big success. He said he thinks the program will be of particular benefit to families from outside of town who want to spend the day at Waskesiu or Tobin Lake.
