Sounds like you and Chuckie had a great time. I'm really impressed with the kids table. That's a fantastic thing to do

PA sure has a lot of dedicated trappers that put in a great effort to keep the trapping tradition alive for the next generation It looks like you had a lot of great prizes to be bid on and won on the various raffles Thanks for the good job and a very nice post showing some of the items that where available to be won The bottom line is to run a successful banquet it take many hard working and willing people Now that it is over take a minute and pat all of your selves on the back Because it looks like you all did a nice job to have a nice event I

We had a great evening last night. Over 200 + attendees. I believe all enjoyed themselves. I know I did. Lots of Tman members were on hand.

I won a few things also. Folks were supporting the event generously from what I could tell. Lots of firearms, some nice cross bows, traps, bear traps, DP's, box traps of several sizes, gifts of joy and spirits plus many hand crafted items.

The hand crafted items were works of art which showcased how many hours of work went into creating and crafting them.

Thanks to all who attended and gave of their time, effort and spent lots of hard earned $$ to make our 20th banquet another success.

Only thing I can’t deal with is the constant buzz and humm of a big crowd. This was the first big event we have been to since before Covid.

Think of it this way. You were part of that buzz and everybody probably had a good time.

It was great meeting you, Ashley; and Chuckie, too!

We drove about three hours to get there, be a part of things, and most importantly see some old Friends and support the Cause!

District 3 folks always do a phenomenal job with this Banquet!

I’m curious as to other t man members I was not aware of.
Speak up please and announce yourself if you were there. A photo would help too.

I was a habitat chairman for a PA Pheasants Forever chapter for more than 25 years It was mostly work planting trees with a shovel And planting seed with a drill or a hand seeder If You where using a drill it meant you where lfting 5 0 lb bags of seed . But I had the best job seeing the results of a well planned project turn into great wildlife Cover always made me feel like our chapter was making difference But the real heros of our chapter where the banquet committee When there was a buzz in the room and people where smiling and enjoying the event They where spending money The back bone of the group was the fund raising efforts And anytime there is a buzz in the room that fund raising group had hit a home run Congrarts to all that made that room shake rattle and roll
