We had another small trap collectors get together in northern Minnesota. Last time eleven showed up. This time (like the last) the number about doubled (and that doesn't even include all the "better halves")

Covid precautions were discussed beforehand but once that first tailgate drops, those plans were out the window. Social distancing was tough due to the quest for shade and the need to get a close look at some fantastic traps. I sincerely hope everyone stays healthy so we can all make it to the next one....
Some really great traps showed up and the knowledge shared was incredible....Much Appreciated
I was volunteered to take pics and know for sure I missed alot of stuff.

We all got buttons.

.......................................................... MORE TO COME..............................................

Thanks Dale,,,sure looks inviting

More of the "For Sale" stuff...

Some of the attendees...Sorry if I didn't get everyone but taking pics was cutting into my priorities.....

Thanks Dale! Great Pictures & Great Memories!

we all had a great time some nice traps showed up to see and more nice traps for sale Thanks for the pics Dale and thanks Ed Bertram for putting it all together

MORE TRAPS!!!!!

FEW MORE.......

Thanks for posting the pictures. Looks like a great get-together.

Thanks for the photos Dale, wish I could have been there.

No masks, no distancing, I wouldn't feel comfortable there with how my health is and all... hope everybody stays healthy. Really appreciate the pictures! Looking forward to when all this covid crap is behind us!

Actually, except for the bar at night where some congregated, the distancing was pretty good and it was all outside. From time to time when a new pickup load arrived some got shoulder to shoulder but as you can see in the pics, most stayed well apart and there was a breeze. In addition, all had previously been cautioned about attending if even a suspicion of covid like symptoms were experienced. Still some risk but not much if any worse than entering any store without a mask. For the next week or so we will all be hoping not to develop symptoms or hear of others who attended doing so.

thanks a lot for the nice pictures! a great contribution.

thanks Dale for the pictures! See a few familiar faces. Wish I was able to have attended, might have been hard on the pocket book though

Just remember me when you draw the winning tickets for the South Dakota Trappers raffle....

I can see your concern being from New York...Northern Minnesota has been nearly void of the covid the whole time. The numbers have just started to spike within the last week. I think if we had planned a later date it may have been cancelled....

Putting Dale`s SDTA Raffle Tickets in HIGH PRIORITY drawing.

We had a recent spike also, my county is up to 182 confirmed cases now. Stay safe and thanks again for the great pictures!

I wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who attended and all the work and thought put into it, hopefully whip up another one next summer,. Ed

How is my rooster doing?
