We need every club member to come out and help. We will be stringing the fields, burying coins, setting up the building and concessions. Golf carts or 4 wheelers will help in setting up the fields if you have any. The club will furnish lunch on Saturday for all workers. National Hunt Donations We are going to need lots of donations. I need donations for our free Night Hunt. We like to throw out bullets, buttons, brass items, junk jewelry, silver dimes, and just about anything that beeps. I will also need at least two prizes for that hunt. We need prize donations for our Main Hunt. We like them to be worth at least $20.00 so that we will have all quality prizes in our hunt. The ladies and kids hunt can also use prize donations. Cathy will need cakes, pies, or cookies donated to the concession stand. I know this is asking for a lot of donations but our members have been doing it every year. that is one of the reasons that we put on one of the best National Hunts in the Country. We are going to have so much fun!
