    Sundays are usually a 'farewell' morning, many people by that point have already headed out.

    If there are any early birds (Thursday evening) we will be sure to have a fire and firepit food at my place Thursday evening so keep that in mind if anyone wants to come a day early.....

    T.Jeff Veal that stinks, miss you and Carol!

    I know, brother. We want to go to Dennis' last GTG in May and we have a cruise in late Oct/Nov booked, I have to use vacation days for both. Only have 12 days a year. Sure wish we could swing it.

    This year's GTG are going to be like the last two that we've had.

    Blair County Game Fish and Foresty
    301 Riggles Gap Sportsmen Rd, Altoona, PA 16601

    I have also included the website (no title)

    Anyone attending the GTG please make sure that you check in at the clubhouse when you arrive!

    People can start arriving on Friday morning (because they shoot trap on Thursdays) who will be camping on site. The back road will be open to the trap range as it it easier to get campers up that road. Signs will be out directing people at usual.

    Plates, napkins, plastic ware and cups will be provided.
    There is good cold spring water that is always running for water if you'd like to bring your own containers.

    Food/ meals that will be provided:

    Friday 8th Supper: will be planning on pizza (hopefully at Scotty Overkill's again)! If not we can order out.

    Saturday 9th
    Breakfast:
    Eggs, apple sausage, bacon and fried potatoes.

    Lunch: (provided by the club) hamburgers, hot dogs and maybe some of there ox roast sandwiches that they had last year.

    Supper: brisket, chicken, pulled pork.

    Sunday is the farwell day. Any leftover food will be in the cooler's in the outdoor kitchen and you can feel free to get some food on the go if you wish.

    Alcohol is allowed after hours and must stay on the trap range as long as it doesn't get out of control and only when the guns are away and the work is done for the day.

    4 wheelers, side by sides are welcome as long as you check with the club to see what trails that you are allowed to ride on as long as you don't tear the place up.

    Extra splitters and tractors/ machines to help with the work are welcome

    Anyone who is a part of the GTG and helping to cut and split wood is allowed to shoot on the range for free.

    We will be planning on having a raffle again.

    I will be making a post for the raffle donations and a separate post for a food list and people can add to those posts. I will keep both list updated on both sites.

    Don't forget to bring your favorite firearms!

    Let's all have a good time get some work done and enjoy everyone's company as we always do!

    That's it...Personally, I am a little disappointed!! If I can't find any paint to watch dry or any grass that I can watch grow...Maybe I will show up.

    Robin made reservations for us at the Days Inn on Sabbath Rest Rd , I think that is the closest motel to the club. We have stayed there the last couple of years
