July Schedule

 

The Games Fish & Parks is putting together a trailer with rods, fishing equipment, etc for a fishing workshop.  At this point, we can determine how long we want the workshop to be and what we would want them to teach. 

I have tentatively set a date of Monday, July 22^nd.  This would be open to all youth.  (We request someone accompany the Cloverbuds or younger 4-Hers to help with the actual fishing part.)

At this time, I need your input back on…

• Are your youth interested in attending a fishing workshop? 
• Will Monday, July 22^nd work for you?

What would you like to learn about?
Please contact Sherryl Rankin with input on this topic at 605-796-4380
