Great Plug for Deep Creek Lake on Good Morning Maryland

MPT Filming in Garrett County

Recently, Backfin Media was in the area filming an episode of Maryland Public Television’s (MPT) award-winning series, Outdoors Maryland. They filmed people enjoying fishing on Deep Creek Lake as a part of the “Gone Fishin” episode. It ties in with the Statewide fishing challenge, offered by Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) – from the mountains to the shore – with three ways to win: Kid’s Fishing Rodeos offered across the State; Award Citation Achievers and Catching Diamond Jim. 

Bill’s Outdoor Center, a locally owned business on Deep Creek Lake and a Chamber member, is a major sponsor for the Diamond Jim contest. The purpose of the event is to promote Maryland’s excellent fishing opportunities and the importance of children in the outdoors as an integral part of our future. “Fishing is a great and inexpensive way for the whole family to have fun together in the outdoors,” said Don Cosden, Assistant DNR Fisheries Director. 

Robert Ferrier, an independent TV producer and owner of Backfin Media, and his crew were filming fishing on Deep Creek Lake, fly-fishing on the Savage River, and tidal fishing from the Burton Fishing Pier in Cambridge for this Outdoors MD segment. The main focus is to promote the Fishing Challenge and to keep people excited about Maryland’s natural resources – fish it’s waters, have fun and come away with a renewed sense of person responsibility for protecting these resources. The MPT air date for this Outdoors MD segment has not been set.

I really like this video below, again from Bradley Nesline.  Very cool with the video on the helmet thing.  Notice how high the river is when he goes under the Casselman Bridge.

Garrett County Thrilled the World

On Saturday October 25th, Brenda Brosnihan of Brenda's Body Shop led a group of zombies and ghouls through a performance of Michael Jackson's Thriller dance to raise money for the House of Hope.  That they did, as they raised over $30,000 while they participated in the event as it occurred simultaneously in forty countries that night.  Kam Gillespie of Haley Farm blogged about it last week and also shared this video link.
