Club Picnic and River Clean Up

July 31, 2010

          Gather your family and join us for our annual GGA Picnic and River Clean up.  This year we will be going to the Grand Mesa and do a badly needed clean up at Ward Creek Reservoir and the Creeks around it.   This is the 1^st lake you come to on the Mesa, on Highway 65.  

          We will have Hamburgers and Hot Dogs with all the trimmings. If you would like to bring something, please fill free to do so. Water and Soda’s will also be provided.

          Please be at the lake by 10am.  One very important thing, DON’T forget the fishing gear. It will be at least 10 to 20 degrees cooler than down in the valley.  We look forward to seeing everyone and having a great time.

We will be having our annual drawing for the Super Fly Event in September. This is a two person team that would represent GGA.  All entry fees will be paid by our club.  Any person that would like to do this must be at the clean up and picnic.

Please bring your family to our picnic and enjoy some good food and friendship.  The Grand Mesa rangers are having Moose Day!  What a great opportunity  for everyone to have a chance to see Moose and learn about them. This is a fun day for the kids.

If you plan on coming please call Ed Kehoe and leave a message. 970-865-3679

Come have a great family outing.  We will have our tent up and sign out next to the lake.
