Reminder of fund raiser on Saturday, March 1

Here is a final reminder that the highly-popular, fun-filled, Carson Valley Chukar Club fund raiser will be held on Saturday night, March 1.

This will be the 22nd version and it will be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

To reach the fairgrounds, drive south on U.S. 395, out of Gardnerville, to the traffic signal light at the 7-11 Store. At that intersection, turn left onto Pinenut Road. Take Pinenut Road for about three miles to the large metal building, located on your right.

The doors will open at 5 p.m. and the evening's program begins at 7 p.m.

To conform with Nevada law, which restricts smoking in eating locations, smoking will not be allowed inside the building.

The cost to attend is $30 per person, which includes a one year membership in the Chukar Club.

Note: Youngsters under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. There is a minimum age of 16 to attend.

Through the years, the Chukar Club fund raiser has supported many worthwhile activities such as:

Helicopter costs for water survey in the Pine Nut Mountain Range.

Hunter's Sportsman Journal for NDOW.

Purchase needed equipment for NDOW biologists.

Nevada Hunter Education Program (including paying the registration fees for youths under 18).

Nevada anti-poaching program known as Operation Game Thief (OGT).

Kids' Fishing Derby at Lampe Park in Gardnerville.

U.S.F.S. Wilderness Workshop for youths.
