Hello Everyone,
I'd like to start off by apologizing about the late edition of the CFHA Packbasket News letter. This off season has been really busy for us. We've been obtaining properties for members, beaver control, Cabelas events, trapping classes and workshops for children to name a few! Several other events out there that I would like to touch upon:
- NTA Nationals is being held in Hamburg, NY. July 28th-Aug 1st. Anyone looking to meet up and/or looking to carpool please call: Herb Sobanski 860-874-3172 or Branden Bergeron 860-377-7640
- Herb and Myself will be doing a workshop for kids at a couple of local Summer Camps in mid August. Anyone willing to come out and spend a few hours sharing our knowledge of trapping with the kids is more then welcome. Please send us a note on the website.
- There is another Cabelas event coming up in August. Exact date TBD. If you are interested in participating please drop myself, Herb, Branden or Eric Schupp a email or text. Great fun with the customers and staff of Cabelas!!
