Relief from the exceedingly hot weather came just in time for the 7th Annual Perry Youth Hunt Extravaganza, sponsored by the Perry Sons of Amvets. Many dozens of youngsters showed off their deer, while two young ladies took 9 and 10-point bucks anyone would be proud of. All registered youth deer hunters received valuable prizes plus commemorative T-shirts.
Thanks to Sycamore Creek Taxidermy for the deer head mount, to BPI, Industries for getting us a good deal on your Optima muzzleloader, Smoky Dans for a deer processing certificate, Hunters’ Specialties for the donation of suitable gifts, and everyone else that pitched in – especially the entire participating membership of the Perry Sons of Amvets for working so hard all year and saving for this event.
Special thanks to Lynn Welch, Mark and Brad Ergen, Raedean and Heather Thomas, the parking lot control people, and all Sons of Amvets members that showed up to help.
