[fuzz269]

This past weakend was the Fort St John Trappers Assoc anual rendezvous, It was a compleat success. The week end camp out included lots of kids games and a few grown up ones mixed in too, I tried to get pix of it all but was havin so much fun I failed miserably at pickin up the camera, thank goodness the Mrs was takin a few pix.

Here is a pix of the trap board game I built and some of the kids who kept me buzy for the next few hours settin traps and catchin tennis balls

There were many more kids games such as apple bobbin, archery, siftin for treasher in the sand pile that I didn't get pix of. There was also a compition for king and queen trapper, for the king trapper they had to do a tee boil, trap setting with big mitts on, a grain bag relay with big plywood snow shoes and then make a dirt hole or blind set. In the Queen trapper contest they had a fryin pan toss, bannock cookin, trap settin and a few other events that I didn't get to watch. All in all we had a great weekend, good people, good food and good times. I got to finaly meet a few trappers I had only ever talked to on forums befor, kinda neat to put a voice to the name lol. We had tones of prizes and raffles, some of the top prizes were a marlin 45/70, an nice 22 mag, a husky power saw, $500 gift card for sears, and a power saw carving of a grizly bear that my wife was lucky enough to win. I am already exited for next year

That would be awsome Oldyote, I was tellin the guys about how you were tryin to convince Mrs Oy to let you come and they all had a good laugh and came up with some creative ideas to try tellin her next year lol. Your kids will have a blast is you make it, alost the whole weekend is geard toward them, as we need as many new trappers as we can get. Mine made out like bandits with all the prizes they won, plus they had non stop fun the whole time we were there.

At the Texas Rondi last spring (2009) they had the trap board game. One guy showed my daughter and a couple other girls how it works, then left them in charge of it. No prizes, though. Then my daughter won first place at the skillet throwing contest. My youngest (almost 2 years old at the time) won 1st for "coloring". Had I known they had it at the same place this year, we'd of gone again. It's ussually across state (remember, this is Texas, so that's about 11 or so hours 1 way), so we don't go.

Glad you had a good one though Fuzz.
