Chalk it up to COVID: In consideration of family and friends of our inductees, we have decided to delay the Annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony to a time when families and friends would not be forced to chose between celebrating with their inductee, and concerns they may have about virus transmission. So, after last year’s annual meeting extravaganza at Lambeau Field, this year’s may be something of a let-down. To be sure, we will be hosting an annual meeting on Saturday, January 23rd in Oshkosh at the Fox River Brewing Company. Happy hour starts at 4:30 p.m., followed by a casual dinner with short presentations on the state of WWA and our work this year. We’ll then move on to the recognition of the extraordinary work of our volunteer cadre in 2020. Space is very limited – so mark your calendars and sign up now to reserve your spot.
For those who enjoyed – or regret missing – last year’s annual meeting at Lambeau, we will be hosting an even bigger extravaganza: the waterfowl hunters EXPO on the 28th of August. So while you have your calendars out, mark that down too.
