Do your part in making this a great Memorial Day!

Hey guys I have a favor to ask of each and everyone of you. Memorial Day Weekend is coming up and fast. I know many of you are going to be going to lakes, to go camping, fishing, boating, and all that other fun stuff under the sun. So here is what I ask. When you are out and about, pick up the trash around, even if it isn’t yours. When your hiking and you see a pop bottle pick it up. Do your part to make the parks you are at beautiful for everyone else!!! Thank you so much!!

Have a fun and safe weekend. If you catch a monster fish, or find something cool send me a picture of it and I will post it on the site for everyone to see!!! Send your pictures to abrentzel@pheasantsforever.org.

Easter is fast approaching. It is coming up this Sunday. I have a goal for all of you this weekend. Instead of sitting inside with you family watching tv, why don’t you take them outside and play your favorite game. The possiblities are endless, you could play catch with a cousin, go to the park with your aunt and uncle, you could sidewalk chalk with your brothers and sisters. Just find something to do under the sun. Take some fun pictures and share them with your friends at school and also your uplandtale friends. I would love to see what kind of fun ideas you guys came up with your families on Easter!!

Happy Easter!!!
