PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Our January sale went quite well with the price of ’rats and ’coons much better than what was expected. Although the quantity of fur seemed to be down a bit, we had a great turnout of both sellers and buyers. Thanks to all who made the sale a success.
The new facility seemed to work well and we will discuss the idea of keeping the sale in Tontogany in the future. If anyone has any suggestions regarding future fur auctions or the fall trapping clinic, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line or contact any of your officers or board members. Thanks again. Time to think SPRING!
