“Elk Country Chapter” – Annual KECA Banquet Saturday, March 21st, 2015 The Royal Inn, 17089 Boot Jack Road, Ridgway, PA 15853 Doors open at 3:00pm Hello fellow elk enthusiast and conservationists, I hope this letter finds you well and eager to have a great time with the Elk Country Chapter at this year’s Banquet! Our committee has been working very hard to ensure you have a very memorable evening and we would like to show you a “sneak peak” as to what we have been up to! We have some new raffles and high quality merchandise featured in our live and silent auctions and our various raffles that we are very proud of and hope that you will enjoy! First off is our KECA 2015 Collector’s Banquet Rifle! The Alliance has teamed up with the folks at Henry Rifles and Baron’s Engraving to bring to you this embellished USA Made Henry Big Boy .44 Magnum! Truly a one of a kind and by far our best Banquet Rifle yet! New for this year, is the Elk Calf “Round Up” raffle. The Alliance and our friends at the Pennsylvania Game Commission have offered this once in a life time opportunity to attend an outing with PGC elk biologist, Jeremy Banfield, into the field to have the potential of capturing and collaring an elk calf on Saturday, June 13th, 2015! This Raffle is progressive in nature, meaning the winner on banquet night will be then entered into the final drawing for 6 winners. You can prebuy these tickets, 1 for $10 and 3 for $20, with your banquet application for a chance to win this up close and personal elk experience! Last, but definitely not least, is a powder horn hand crafted especially for the Elk Country Chapter by Mr. Paul King! This one of a kind item is engraved with a map of PA Elk Country and a bugling bull! The picture to the right will give you a taste of what you will see on Banquet night! We hope you are excited about it as we are! We have too many great items to mention, but a sunset cruise and a Lake Erie fishing charter with Capt. Fritz Curtze are also on the auction block, and our ever-popular gun safe raffle! You won’t want to miss out! Conservation education continues to be our #1 mission priority. In 2014, we welcomed nearly 30,000 students and guests who attended KECA’s structured conservation programs. We welcomed our 1,000,000th guest at the Elk Country Visitor Center. Habitat enhancement is our next highest priority. In 2014, we improved nearly 600 acres of habitat for elk and other wildlife. In the five years since its inception, KECA has enhanced nearly 2,000 acres across elk country. As a KECA member, you should be very proud you have contributed to these endeavors through your generous support! The rest you’re going to have to wait until banquet night to see! The Elk Country Chapter Committee and I are looking forward to spending a very memorable, enjoyable, and high energy evening supporting and celebrating all that we do for PA Elk Country. Thank you all for your support and we’ll see you in Elk Country! Yours in Conservation, Cody Cogan and the Elk Country Chapter Committee Elk Country Chapter Banquet March 21, 2015 The Royal Inn 17089 Boot Jack Road Ridgway, PA 15853 Doors open at 3:00pm BANQUET APPLICATION --Please fill out completely and print legibly— Please check one: Is this a new address?
