District 7 Chair & Co-Chair - Minnesota Trappers Association

Hello trapping friends,

Thank you District 4 and its members for putting on a good 2018 Trappers Convention in Barnum. Thanks to all other volunteers that helped in many ways. It takes a lot of bodies and I encourage my fellow members that if the opportunity is there come help!

District 7 and Minnesota Trappers Association was represented at the Nicollet Conservation Club on July 21st. We were invited as a vendor too display pelts of native animal. Our area along with the DNR swamp boat were big hits. There were hundreds of kids participating. A good and well run organization worth checking out next year.

District 7 fall meeting is scheduled for Sunday Sept. 23rd at Schmitt Enterprise Inc. This will be a busy day. Schmitt Enterprise will be holding a customer appreciation and open house with doors opening at 9:00am. We have demos scheduled for 9:30, 10:30, 1:30 and 2:30. We will have our district meeting at 11:30. We are also doing a field day certication class starting at 9:30-going till 3:00.

Next year’s state convention is coming to Redwood Falls, MN. At our summer convention District 7 directors presented a proposal for the 2019 State Trappers Convention. The Board approved the proposal and arrangements are now being made for next summer’s convention happing in the Redwood Falls Fairgrounds on Aug.1, 2 and 3rd. These fairgrounds aren’t new for MTA’s. Our state convention was held there back in 2011. Being it is our district hosting I am encouraging our membership to help out when they can. Give me a call 507-276-6322 and I will find a job for you. Many arrangements need to be made yet. I am working with the community. More details will come in the following newsletter.

Do something for the environment. Get out and enjoy the outdoors and stay safe.  See you at the convention.   

Pass it on.
