Local NWTF Chapter Takes Awards at State Convention
It was not uncommon to hear “The Central Valley Struttin’ Gobblers” spoken at past NWTF State Conventions. The local wildlife conservation group has consistantly received awards for “Medium Sized Banquets/Chapters”. Here is how the CVSG finished at the most recent state convention held in Spearfish on January 7th, 2012:
· Net Banquet Dollars (1st Place)
· Total Coservation Dollars Raised (1st Place)
· Net to Gross Percentage (2nd Place)
· Overall Membership (3rd Place)

These four accomplishments signify the dedication of the group and uphold their mission statement…”dedicated to conservation and preservation of the hunting heritage”. Overall the Central Valley Struttin’ Gobblers (CVSG) also made an impact amongst the other chapters in the South Dakota by contributing in the following areas:
· Full Strut (improve in at least 4 of 10 categories)
· Turkey Hunters Care (food & cash donation to Humboldt Food Haven)
+ Contributing sponsor of the Humboldt Sharp Shooters
· Jakes Event (conducted an Ice Fishing Derby for area youth)
· Women In The Outdoors (event dedicated to women & youth)
By meeting the required criteria the CVSG earned the right to be considered a FIVE STAR CHAPTER. This was accomplished by only 5 other chapters in state. The CVSG will continue to support the Hartford/Humboldt area with efforts like conservation awareness, food plot assistance, non-profit contributions and educational programs. However the members of the group would like to convey that future donations are primarily contingent on the funds raised at the upcoming banquet on January 28th, 2012.
The CVSG look forward to once again conducting their Hunting Heritage Banquet at the Trophy Room in Humboldt. To find out more please go to our 2012 Banquet page. If you would like to be a business sponsor or attend this event please feel free to call Co-Chairs, Fred Finch/ 605-553-5510 or Greg Boddicker/ 605-528-3592 . The members of the CVSG would like to thank all of those who made 2011 an extremely successful year and look forward to your participation for many years to come.
