Join us for the Paul Wood Fishing Contest scheduled for Saturday, August 3 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This event will include activities such as casting contests, largest fish caught from several categories of fish and all around fun and camaraderie! Paul was an active outdoorsman and served in many capacities in his 54 years of service on the Executive Board of Directors. He was a key member of the group that began the Pheasant Hunting Preserve, served as our representative to the Genesee County Federation of Sportsman’s Clubs, chaired the Pond Improvement committee for decades and more! He passed away in January of 2012.
