The are gearing up for Fall with our 4th Annual Sportsman’s Extravaganza Saturday September 8, 2012.

Admission is free. Food Concessions will be available for sale including the Infamous Trap Shoot Beef Sandwich. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The club is excited to offer great raffle prizes again this year including a Lake of the Woods Guided Walleye Fishing Trip for six people, Cabela’s Gift Cards, Archery Packages, Pheasant Hunt, Custom Walleye Rod, Honda Generator, Ice Fishing House, Gun Safe and Cash.

"Each year we are trying to bring together people interested in raising awareness and generate funds for one of our most valuable resources- nature" said Event Chair Lion Jeff  Edelman.

Money raised from the event will be going to provide assistance for area organizations.  In the past we have given to the Boy Scouts, Pheasants Forever, Youth Gun Training Programs, Wood duck Habitat and others.
