There’s an event coming up that I wanted to be sure and let everyone know about before it got too late. It’s the Annual Trout Unlimited Banquet in Leavenworth. The Icicle Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited is one of the most active in the entire western region and sets the standards for local projects for fish enhancement. This annual banquet is a key fund raiser for the various projects this chapter takes on. The banquet is known far and wide as the place to be if you want to a: have a good time, b: get some incredible deals on fishing tackle, fishing trips, and a wide range of other auction items, and c: have a great time and make a contribution to some really excellent work. The banquet will take place on Saturday, August 2nd at the Enzion Inn in Leavenworth. Tickets are $45 each and you must make your ticket purchase by July 25th. The seating for the banquet is limited to 125. To get your tickets, contact Dennis McMahon in Leavenworth by calling 509-548-7526. The auction item preview will begin at 5. there are some very special presentations planned for the evening, too.
