No Christmas time banquet. Between the weather and everyone being busy... it's not a good time. (Want an ice storm?.. set up a date for the banquet in Dec.. it's unfailable!)
I think we'll try to have a food and get together event around the Deer and Turkey Classic time. March 25-27 at Peoria, IL

Or maybe around the Fin and Feather Expo in Bloomington. (Jan 28-30)
