The Cedar Rapids chapter of the National Wild Turkey Foundation held their annual banquet this past Saturday night. It was a great banquet, the body count was a little down, but the spirit and fun was up. The Jakes sign up was over 50 this year, so the inclusion of young people is going great. Dave Reisner was the MC and did a great job. Dave is one of those take charge types that keeps the room moving, laughing and rolling in thier seats. My group took up a long table of over 30 people, it was great recognizing almost 75 people, many of whom I only see a couple of times per year. All of my friends won something, our table sort of cleaned up! Adam Boysen won a Bowtech General bow, I won the loaded turkey vest, the Reisner's won several things including a turkey fryer... even a couple that claims to never have won before, was drawn a couple of times. The excitement was electric! There was a great turnout, the sponsors and donors chose incredible guns and major prizes and the food was great. If you haven't been to a NWTF banquet, you owe it to yourself to find one, it is a super cause and banquet!
