2010 MTA Fall Convention

 

Dates: 17 - 19 September, 2010

Linn Creek Mo.

The 2010 Fall Rendezvous will be held September 16-19 at the Missouri Trapshooter's Association home grounds located at Linn Creek, MO near the Lake of the Ozarks. District 6 will be the host this year, and its' members are very excited. The first planning session was held Saturday February 20 with about 40 people attending. Committees were formed, and District Director Dale Verts wants to express his sincerest thanks to those that attended. This site is located off of Hwy. 54 between Camdenton and Osage Beach on "A" road, about 7 miles from the 54 &"A" junction.

 

It is early yet, but several ideas were tossed around as to events to be held. District 6 wants input from trappers throughout the state as to what you would like to see happen at this year's Rondy. This is truly "your" event- let Dale Verts or Robbie Page know what you'd like to see!

 

The next rendezvous meeting will be August 14th at 11:00am at the Trapshooters Association grounds in Linn Creek, Missouri.
For more information contact Robbie at 660-848-2991, or Dale at 573-789-5690.
