Nancy served as FOWA Executive Director from 1992 to 2003 and was named a Life Member in 2009. She was a freelance writer, public relations consultant and owner of C.D. Marketing and Public Relations in Ocala. Nancy also held Accred- ited Public Relations Professiional (APR) status with the Florida Public Relations Association. Her numerous specialties included travel, outdoor recreation, active senior topics, SCUBA div- ing, kayaking, equine activities and events. No plans have yet been announced for a memorial. D.O.A. Lures’ Jerry Rosen Many FOWA Active Members have a close relationship with Mark Nichols and D.O.A. Lures, one of our Corporate Members. I’m sorry to report that Jerry Rosen, Mark’s former right-hand man, passed away on October 18. Mark is certainly the hands-on guy at D.O.A. and the inspiration for their products, but I’m sure he’d be the irst to say that Jerry was a critcal part to keeping the D.O.A. ship between the channel markers on the company’s rise to success. Many of us in the outdoor writing community will miss Jerry! EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT---PLEASE READ! This is a HUGE issue of Market Edge and I have lots of important items to cover. But irst, a big thanks to FOWA 1st VP Sandy Huf for gathering up all the member news that follow this page. Sometimes getting information from you folks is like herding cats, but Sandy stuck with it and gathered some great updates on what yo’re doing! First, as reported by Bob Bass in his President’s Message, we had an excellent 2010 Conference in Tallahassee in August. If you were not able to attend, you can read a blow-by-blow account at our Web site, www.fowa.org. I know that lots of stories were generated by the events in the Tal- lahassee area, and want to remind you to send me photocopies or Web links to them for our iles.

  • Manatee Springs State Park Three Day 'Springs Break' Real Florida
    Manatee Springs State Park Three Day ‘Springs Break’ Real Florida Guide Note: Colored numbers correspond with numbers on the map and represent destinations for each day. Red = Day 1, Green = Day 2 and Blue = Day 3. Enjoy a three day ‘springs break’ sampling some of Florida’s crystal-clear watery gems sprinkled among the nine-county region known as the Nature Coast. You can make your base camp at Manatee Springs State Park’s full-service campground or the comfortable cabins at Fanning Springs State Park. Take your time sauntering from spring to spring, dip a paddle in the majestic Suwannee River, bike the scenic Nature Coast State Trail, and enjoy the natural wonders and wildlife of the region. Day 1 Manatee Springs State Park (1), with a full-facility campground surrounded by red oak woodlands, makes an excellent base camp for exploring the charms of the Nature Coast. The park’s first- magnitude spring produces an average of 100 million gallons of clear, cool water daily. In winter, West Indian manatees swim upriver to the warmer waters of the springs. Popular for snorkeling and scuba diving, the headwaters of the spring are also an inviting spot for swimming. Canoe and kayak rentals are available all year round on the spring run that forms a sparkling stream meandering through hardwood wetlands to the Suwannee River. Hiking and bicycling are available on eight miles of an inviting shady off-road trail system. Try your luck fishing from the park's boardwalk along the spring run and in the Suwannee River for largemouth bass, catfish and a variety of tasty pan-sized fish.
