Every year, Calvary Baptist Church offers a Sportsman's Dinner to its memers as well as the general public. The event begins with fellowship and networking over a fantastic meal prepared of wild game. Once the meal is complete the guests are dismissed to break out in to sessions and choose two topics they'd like to learn more about. Lee Robers, the Youth Pastor of Calvary had approached us at Indian Lake Outfitters and asked us to do a geocaching demonstration as one of the break out sessions. We graciously accepted and awaited our first banquet on Friday, November 12.
The church was packed with sportsmen of all ages awaiting a great meal and hoping to pick up a few pointers from a break out session or two. There were speakers from the ODNR, lots of avid hunters, several trophies on display, a couple of fella's talked about their hunting travels, some were experts on muzzleloading, there was a guy that taught about fishing for bass and of course Indian Lake Outfitters introduced Geocaching 101.
Once the break out sessions were over, we all gathered back in the cafeteria for dessert and coffee while we listened to the guest speaker, a fellow pastor and outdoorsman himself. After his message, Pastor Jeff Willetts spoke for a brief moment and drew a few lucky guests as door prize winners.
For us at Indian Lake Outfitters, the evening was more than enjoyable. It was wonderful being involved with a strong community of outdoorsmen. We had a fabulous meal, met lots of great folks and shared our story with many. Thanks for having us and we look forward to next year!
