The Club Clean Up day was a success. Dry weather in the 50's made for good working weather. We had 25 volunteers working on painting all picnic tables and benches, dig holes for new BBQ on East side of clubhouse near covered picnic area, repaired/replaced steps in trap houses, remounted and rewired trap thowers, cut brush along fence line and of course repaired the shooting stands and targets. Special thanks for Mike for being job foreman, and Bill and Glen for providing lunch. Thanks to the volunteers who showed up to make it a success. If you could not make it we'll plan on seeing your for deer rifle site-in volunteer work. See the photos page for some workers in action!

Clean up day was held on April 26th...it did not rain, but rather SNOWED! We had about 10 guys show up and all the target stands were rebuilt, garage organized, Clubhouse cleaned, and clays loaded in the trap houses. Honestly, it was blizzard-like at times.
Sunday April 27th was a much nicer day and about 5 guys showed up and worked on cutting brush along roadways and fence lines.
SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME! If you were unable to participate in clean-up day, keep rifle site-in penciled on your calendar. We will need volunteers for that the last two weekends before MN deer opener.
Trap league began on April 30th with a good turnout.
