Unsafe Ice

Ice Fisheree Update

/in /by

ATTENTION: Unsafe ice conditions!

 
Unsafe Ice
 
The Stoughton Conservation Club and its Ice Fisheree committee, takes the safety of all participants to be its highest priority. Unfortunately, due to the lake conditions, and the recommendations from local authorities on the ice conditions, we regret that we will be canceling the ice fishing portion of our 61st Annual Ice Fisheree event.
 
As stated, this ONLY effects the ice fishing portion of the event!
 
All other event activities will still be held at Springers on Lake Kegonsa, including all general raffles, the famous bucket raffles, and kid’s games!
 
Get your tickets before it’s too late!
 
We have an Polaris ATV, $2000 in Cash Prizes, and a great list of other prizes. Drawings start at 3pm. This is an event that supports so much and is a great time for all!
 
Springers will also be hosting a brunch starting at 9am until 11am with lunch served all day and dining in the evening.
 
Hope to see you there!

Trap and Skeet Maintenance Signs

/in /by

Attention Trap and Skeet shooters!

 
We’ve seen the out of service signs put up several times recently with no obvious reason why. It looks like the machines and card readers are working just fine each time the signs have been up.
 
If you find something that’s not working, please email longrange@stoughtoncc.com and let us know what the problem is. Ideally, take a picture of what you’re seeing so we know what to look for.
 
Thanks!
