Well, we finally secured a contract with the Perham Community Center, know as the PAC. The new manager is not show friendly at all, our costs went through the roof. Frankly without new sponsor blood it will be hard to remain in Perham.
We are looking at the budgets now to see if we can hold the line on vendor costs. The final updates to our National decoy contest is complete and available on this site. We added the Bob Johnson Memorial and updated the SCHWICHTENBERG woodpecker contest. These updates should also be on our sister site www.nfdadecoys.org Think about booking you motels early.
