There are quite a few people coming. We filled our room block and keep having to add more. The donations are rolling in and we will have lots of really nice stuff to offer.

I'll be manning the WI Chapter Backcountry Hunters & Anglers booth. Stop by and say hi!

Looking forward to it, first time for me.

Will you have any of these for sale at the Banquet? I just saw your youtube video while searching for diy saw blade broadheads.

Well, the banquet is history for another year.  This was the biggest, in terms of diners, that we have ever had.  It was awesome !  Great speakers, getting to meet with friends, browse tons of neat gear and spin that wheel!  

A ton of work and responsibility went into the making of this event and the handful of folks that are directly responsible for putting it together should be commended.  You know who you are, and thank you !  

We have some new directors and officers, headed up by new President Gary VandenLangenberg.

Make 2017 the year you get more involved with the club and its activities.  There is a lot planned for this year.

Sorry that I wasn't able to get our BHA booth set up at this year's Banquet....all of our banners, table cloth, merchandise, brochures, etc. were shipped out to me in late Jan and are STILL currently lost somewhere out in deep space shipment-land!!!

I could have just sat at the table, by myself....but we felt it would be a poor showing on behalf of BHA.

We are definitely planning on attending next year, and I'm going to try to get to some shoots around the State this year too.

Visiting some of the shoots would be worthwhile. I would like to know more about the group.  I'm sure others do too.

It was a good turnout for sure. Barry was an awesome speaker. His seminar was standing room only. The amount of donations was unbelievable. I came home with a couple quality items. Thank you to everyone that played a part in this awesome event.

Miles, you should have came anyway. A simple sign and membership apps would have been plenty. You would have picked up members.

Steve, sorry for the delay answering your question but I just found out that we will be going back to Stevens Point in 2018. I do not have the final date but think that it is safe to say that it will be the same weekend.
