2008 Palm Beach Open Photos - the fantastic prize wall (literally) and ceremony!
Here is the last round of 2008 Palm Beach Open Photos. The fantastic prize wall and ceremony was great fun!
First, our master of ceremonies was Bill Black, the former manager of the Force E Dive Center in Riviera Beach. Bill is a very knowledgable diver spearfisher and hook & line fisher. Here are some photos of Bill tossing out goodies to the crowed room. Great job Bill!

I am going to repeat some images of the prize wall that I posted in another thread just to "set the stage."
Once again, thanks to all our great sponsors!
