Guideline Suggestions for Convention:

1) Masks will not be mandatory, but respect each persons distance!!

2) Practice social distancing: allow a 6 foot distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household.

3) Take extra precautions if you are of higher risk.

4) Cover your mouth and nose with a face cover when around others when social distancing is difficult to maintain.

5) Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or utilize hand sanitizer especially after being in a public
place, blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. We will have
sanitizer in certain locations, but bring your own for personal use if you wish as well.

6) Please cover coughs and sneezes.


We will have the above guidelines in larger print posted around the grounds as well


Also. If you are going to renew your membership or join the association. If you have a CURRENT mailing address label (return address we all get) to affix to the membership application it would save a lot of writing and congestion at the booth. Kristan Thanks you in advance for any assistance with this.

Cherokee was the home of Don Bierman and I purchased his methods and lures back in the 70's. I bought cases of his lures and still have 2 unopened bottles of his Liquid Fox and Coyote Bait. Hope to visit with anyone who knew him and had any knowledge to his dealings. PM me and I will spring for a Coke or Pepsi.................... the mike
