Last night, the Worcester County League of Sportsmen had their annual banquet. It was located at the Spencer Country Inn. The place is beautifully landscaped......and just about everything is in bloom. The warm air outside was delightfully scented with the sweet smell of flowers. The inside of the place is just as elegant as the outside. The food was fantastic. I think it was the best one inch thick prime rib I have ever had.
After a great meal we were entertained by our guest speaker, Ernie Foster. He gave us some good news...... more money has been budgeted for up coming year for the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, and it looks positive that it is going to be approved. He also talked about the possibility about the bear season being extended . He gave a heart felt speech about his love and dedication towards hunting and thanked his wife for her life long support. He ended his speech with a special surprise, he gave each woman at the banquet a dozen long stem roses. Needless to say.........I enjoyed the pleasant surprise!
Then there was the presentation of awards. They were presented with pride! The awards went out to..........Legistlator Award-Anne Gobi. Just want to make a short note here, Anne is working to get a moose hunting season for the sportsmen's. Sportsman's Award-Steve Howell, Words of Wisdom Award-John O'leary, Youth Mentor Award-Terry Bass and Jaye Fitzgerald and Farmer/Land Owner Award-Jim Talby.
Noel Hare, was this years Worcester County League Of Sportsmen's Clubs, Sportsmen's Hall of Fame recipient which was received by Mel Crouse who was Mel's best friend, needless to say, the award was recieved with honor.
If you missed this year's spendid evening, please plan on attending next year.............it is an event I am sure you will enjoy.
