Howdy!!!!
Tis the season to be seasonally different!!!!!  Can you believe the different weather we had this past weekend.  Snow, rain (in some cases seemed like heavy rain) and beautiful warm weather.  I do not know how this weather affected the lake but I am pretty sure it made a mess out of it.  I would sure like to get the hard stuff going to get a little fishing done, but that will just have to wait.  I have heard of people fishing and my only comment to that would be; PLEASE BE CAREFUL.  We all like to eat fresh fish but being the first one on the ice is not worth somebody’s life.

It is also hard to believe that x-mas is just around the corner.  The days are flying by and so are the days to Roundup.  There is a very good line up of speakers for this years Roundup focusing on crop production. 

The holiday season will soon be upon us and with that we do need to remember to be courteous onto others.  This is a great time to show that holiday spirit towards others and not just by offering gifts, but a time to share a cup of coffee and visit about the families or the old days.  This past weekend we shared supper with our family and my daughter’s friend, who is heading back home for a short vacation.  We shared many fond memories of past Christmas’s and laughed about many other things that have happened, but most of all the family is what counts.

Shooting Sports!!!!!!   
Our shooting sports certified volunteers are getting fired up for the upcoming shooting sports season.  They met last week and are offering classes this winter season for both rifle and archery.  Youth between the ages of 10-17 may register for the classes.  The rifle classes will start January 12^th, with classes starting at 6-7:30 and 7:30-9 pm.  They have set a registration deadline of January 6^th to set their classes and get the certified instructors prepared for the classes.  The cost will be $15 for the first student in the family and $10 for each additional student.  The monies are used to defray the cost of targets, pellets and other misc. items.  The classes will be held in the basement of the Memorial building.  For more information and to register please stop by or call the Extension office at 701-662-7027.  Class size is limited to 12 students per session, so hurry on in and register your students.

The Archery classes will start February 2^nd and will run for 5 weeks, with another class to start March 9^{th and} run for 5 weeks.  These classes are also offered to youth between the ages of 10-17.  The class times will also start at 6 and 7:30 consecutively.  The March session will include one session for students that have taken the beginner class.  The classes will be held in the Armory, adjoining to the Memorial building.  Class sizes are limited to 6 students per class.  SO HURRY ON IN AND REGISTER YOUR STUDENT FOR EITHER CLASS.  Call or stop by the Extension office at 701-662-7027.
