Pennsylvania Trappers Association District 11

Covering York, Schuylkill, Lebanon, Lancaster, Dauphin and Berks Counties

I hope that everyone had a safe and successful trapping season. We had our fur sale January 9, 2016 at the Berks County 4H Center. This event is our only fundraiser for the District. There were 6 buyers and 49 trapper lots with prices in line with what we were all expecting. For those who did not sell or are unsure what to do with your fur this would be a great year to have something made with your fur. I also want to thank everyone who helps at the fur sale, without your help the sale would not run as smooth as it does. Make sure you mark your calendars for the State banquet hosted by District 8 on April 9th and the State Rendezvous hosted by District 10 at the West End Fairgrounds in Gilbert on June 23-25. Listed below are all of our 2016 meeting dates and locations along with our trapper training schools. Make sure you check out the PTA web site at www.patrappers.com to stay current with what is happening with the district and the state.

Thanks, Ralph Wagner
