Cal U’s student chapter will host its 21st annual Outdoor Bash and Wild Game Dinner at 6 p.m. March 24 at the Richeyville (Pa.) Volunteer Fire Department. Doors open at 5 p.m.
In cooperation with the Ruffed Grouse Society and Local No. 1 of the National Wild Turkey Federation, the chapter will offer a variety of game dishes, such as deer, elk, bear, pheasant, rabbit, wild turkey, duck and goose, beaver, fish, turtle and alligator.
Outdoor gear, artwork and free passes to many future wildlife-related activities will be raffled off and awarded as door prizes throughout the evening, while guests enjoy a "wild" array of foods.
Cost is $20; tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
This fundraiser allows student members of The Wildlife Society to participate in hands-on workshops and attend conferences, including the National Wildlife Society Conference, where they can network with wildlife biology professionals.
"This is a very important event for our Wildlife Society student-members, but it's also a great time for anyone who appreciates outdoor recreation and wildlife," said Dr. Carol Bocetti, club adviser and professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences.
"Those who attend are treated to wonderful food and become part of and enjoy the wildlife camaraderie."
