Presidential Ramblings:
By: Jay Munson

It doesn’t seem possible but here we are at another Sportsman’s Show. Woody and Nancy have done a great job putting this event together. As of this writing, I believe we only have 6 or 8 booths left to fill. We are still looking for help with many of the responsibilities that go along with the show. Anyone who has not signed up to help please do so, there is plenty of work to be done. To sign up, please call Jan Logan at 843-6246.
