Saturday Evening, January 28

4:00 pm: We enjoyed a seminar by Steve Sorensen (for north western Pennsylvania) on “Choosing Quality Optics.”

We learned a lot of interesting facts about optics that are used for hunting.

The pastor of Grace Point Nazarene Church (Ephrata) led a prayer of blessing on the meal.

5:00 pm meal

When I took the photo, I didn’t realize my dinner roll was hiding the pulled pork.

Everything was delicious (pulled pork, venison meatloaf, potatoes, baked beans, corn, coleslaw, dinner roll, and dessert), but the pulled pork – which had been smoked – was fabulous!

This lady was standing in front of me for a bit. She said the shirt was a gift from a friend.

6:30 pm: First Time Kill Awards were given to young people by Kevin VanBuskirk.

This was just after our grandson Jared got his award. I was interested in watching and forgot to get a picture when Kevin gave him the award. 🙂 The picture in the background is of Jared with his deer.

This photo was taken by Jere (Jared’s dad).

This year the successful hunters were all boys.

Following the door prizes, Steve shared stories and information about hunting mature whitetail deer.

His website is EverydayHunter.com.

Though I am not a hunter, I enjoy learning new information and hearing stories at these wildlife suppers and expos.
