Onoway Fish & Game BBQ Weekend Day 1

A beautiful day, more campers pulled in today and the members (well at least some) are working hard to get ready for the big BBQ tomorrow, they hung up some banners and decorated the shelter with some triangle coloured little banners, looks quite festive. The BBQ is the big year end gathering and they are expecting a large group to attend (100+ people) so it will be a busy weekend. They also set up tables for the Silent Auction of donated items from members and businesses in the area; the Silent Auction is fun and a good fund raiser for the Association. The Raffle tickets are drawn at the BBQ so all the prizes are arranged in the shelter which allows for viewing (drooling) over the prize you hope to win. This year 1st prize is a quad with tub trailer, 2nd prize $1000.00, 3rd prize, Expedition Camp stove ($600.00 value), 4th prize coolers ($400.00) value and 5th prize 2 Camping chairs (value $80.00) and the tickets are just $10.00 each so very good value. Woody sold some tickets as well as we purchased some tickets, wouldn’t mind winning one of the prizes, last year we won a GPS which we have made good use of in our travels. All in all it is major work to set up everything and of course Woody helped out wherever he could. It will be a busy but fun weekend.

The campers or at least some of them. The campsites create a semicircle around the center area.
