Boy did we have fun on April 11 at our Annual fundraiser at the Blue Goose Event Center.  If you did not come, you missed another fun event for the Chapter.

We entertained over 180 people with over 20 guns and designer diamonds and handbags for raffle. Our silent Auction items made more money than ever before due to the quality and variety for everyone to bid on. Our Live Auction met expectations with solid hunt values, fishing trips, vacation resorts and solid guns. We even had a Colt Python revolver and a King Cobra revolver for those collectors out there.

Our food was tastey catered by Mack Thomas of Mac Que’s Barbeque. Chicken and Tri tip with all the fixins made for a delicious dinner topped off by Tony’s Fine foods apple pie.

Most important was all the generous attendees that supported all the auctions and bought a lot of raffle tickets so our bottom line was greater than last years event. We thank all who attended and all who donated this year.
