The time is right around the
corner when we have our annual

July 19th at our place around 11:30.
Please come and join us for some
good food. Bring a side dish and
something to auction off. Probably a chair as well.
This money goes towards our leases for training
property. Also we will draw for the duck and dove
hunts at the East pond.
