For 18 years Edward McCullough and Sandra McCullough have helped thousand's in the community of Indianapolis by organizing a community outreach center and food pantry for the needy. Mr. McCullough is a Disabled Vietnam Veteran, a Mason and a Minister and Mrs. McCullough is a cancer survivor, a great cook and one of the sweetest people I know. Mrs McCullough decided after her husband retired from working for the government to convert their barn into a bait shop with a lake to provide a safe & healthy place to fish. Their land has an underground spring that would help retain the water levels. Soon after Mr McCullough retired, Mrs McCullough was struck down with cancer, exhausting all their savings on medical bills. During this time they were conned by a contractor who said he would dig the lake if they agreed for him to put a 6" sewer line along the property for his business. The contractor put the line through the middle of their property instead, when the McCullough's went to ask about the building of the lake, the contractor threatened to call the police for trespassing on his property. The motives were clear, the contractor wished to purchase the McCullough's property and if the baitshop failed then he would be able to buy the land at a cheap rate. The McCullough's plagued with cancer and depression have all but lost hope. Mr. McCullough was robbed by automatic weapons a few months ago and the family almost shut the doors after celebrating 10 years in business. I(one of 3 sons)have been running the shop most of the time since then and built a website for them, but the revenue to build such a place is just not there. My parents have dedicated their lives to helping people all over Indiana and even some of the Katrina victims who decided to move to Indiana. With the increasing problems in the body's of water (Giest Reservoir and White River) in the Indianapolis area it would be nice to have a safe and healthy place to fish in Indianapolis again. My father who is a minister would also like to perform marriage ceremonies around the lake and have a playground built for the neighborhood children. I'm not asking for handouts or charity! Just one of the following, sponsorship to build the lake with an agreement of advertisement around the lake forever or trusting our website to provide you with the quality products that you are already purchase form the major fishing tackle outfitters. Please visit The Bait Barn website and see Who We Are! I would like to thank all who have purchased from The Bait Barn over the last year and look forward to providing quality products and services to all of you in the future.
Thank you & God Bless! Feel free to pass this along to whom ever you wish.
David McCullough
