JVSA Banquet tickets on sale

Not only will local residents have the chance for a little fun next month at the Whitehall community Center, they will also be giving back to a worthwhile cause.

Tickets are currently being sold for the popular annual Jefferson Valley Sportsmen Association Banquet scheduled for Saturday, March 10.

The event will begin with cocktail hour scheduled for 6 p.m., and dinner will follow at 7 p.m. The price for tickets is $20 and this includes dinner and an annual membership to the association.

JVSA member Hervey Perez said the annual event is not only a great time, but it is also the biggest fundraiser for the association that was started over 30 years ago. Perez said all money raised would be put to good use, and in the past the JVSA has built a children's fishing pond, a shooting range for members, and has hosted awareness seminars for aquatic weed identification.

JVSA President Don Drake said last year that the organization also works with Montana FWP on issues that will help opportunities for hunting and fishing.
