November 2013 Newsletter
Greetings to all outdoorsmen and women!
This summer we had a couple different events for kids…
- Outdoor Skills Day (June 7) – 200+ kids attended again for the second year in a row! This continues to exceed our expectations! It’s great to see them want to experience the outdoors and learn skills needed for outdoor activities.
- Family Fishing Day was held on a Monday night in June after being postponed because of rain…for the second year in a row. 50 kids registered for the event and we were once again very pleased with the turnout. The biggest catch was a 13 ½” bass! Thanks to the Sioux Center Wal-Mart and the Sioux County Conservation Board for their help with this event!

The board has started selling the 2014 gun calendars. A gun will be drawn every Wednesday in 2014 for a total of 52 guns to be given away! (*a cash buyout of gun can be redeemed in its place).
