Greetings All,

This issue is arriving later than usual due to the Wadena convention schedule conflicting with the magazine deadline of August 1st. Since content from the convention couldn’t be included the deadline was extended to August 15th. Please keep those articles and photos coming we’re including as much as practical in each issue. The Association awarded four scholarships this year and the recipient’s photos and autobiographies will appear in the winter issue. Thanks to our scholarship committee members Brian Fischer, Gary Nelson, Andy Shoemaker, Bill Adler and Bert Highland for scoring applications.

Scholarship Awards:

• $2,000 Hunter Kaprowicz from Warren, MN
• $1,000 Shayelyn Predmore from Pine Island, MN
• $1,000 Jeremiah Johnson from Duluth, MN
• $1,000 Abby Blazevic from Duluth, MN

Congratulations to all.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, trapping season will arrive shortly.

Shawn
