I will be doing a radio show next Saturday, the 13th to announce it, from 7am-10am eastern time.

It is a Michigan station and the show is called Bob Bauer's Outdoor World.

You can listen live with streaming audio, the link is below the pic's ....feel free to call in....248-559-9797.



My heart, my soul, and ALL of my money has gone into this deal, and it is now becoming a reality!!!



It's a 5,000 sq. ft. stand alone building, which has been in business for nearly 30 years, specializing in hunting, fishing, archery, firearms.



The name is KD OUTDOORS, located in Waterford, on M59 just west of the Oakland Pontiac Airport.

Ken,



I knew that you had been working hard on this. My hat's off to you for getting it done, and I wish you nothing but the best. Unfortunately, you won't have any more time to hunt, fish or find mushrooms. So, turn the keys to Camp Neeley over to the NTOWS crew, and we'll mind the 'other' store for you !



Congratulations and best wishes.

[Marke Cicero]

Congrats Ken!!! Can I be on your pro-staff?



I was at the store Sunday morning with Ken doing some landscaping and general curb appeal stuff. Then we went inside and poked around a little and Ken was explaining his "vision" of what he would like to see KD Outdoors become.



If Ken can make 1/2 his ideas come true the store will be a HUGE success.



Dude, you know I got your back....anything you need just ask. I will stock shelves for pizza, mow the lawn for Senko's and dress up like a Bass and do cartwheels on the side of M-59 for Hooter's...wings that is.

 

[Mini]

Speaking of which....



I just landed a couple of exclusive seats to the Michigan State Finals of the Hooters Bikini Contest (at the Roseville Store). Then the after party too
