After an absence of much too long we finally made it back to Blue Hills Sportsmen's Club near Rice Lake, WI. It was great to be back at such a fine facility and even greater to be back among this great group of students, many returnees as well as first-timers.
Thank you Blue Hills Sportsmen's Club for hosting Project Appleseed once again and another round of sincere thanks for your fine support all through the process of scheduling this event and making it happen. I'm looking forward to 2022 already.
Congratulations requalifying Riflemen Rob 233, Josh 232 and Distinguished Rifleman Abe 241.
Congratulations to our new Riflemen Bodi (also winner of the 300 yard turkey high hurdles) 221, Paul 218 and John (Bodi's Dad) 213. Great work all!
Knocking on the door were Amy 197, Jim 185 and Brad 190ish. You can all do it so persist!
Thank you to our dedicated IITs cjcb, ProudPapa14, TheDestroyer, m14man, DJ Liber-T and GuardtheFire. Your work for this event was superb and it was this Old Guy's honor and privilege to work with each and every one of you. It was your efforts that made this event the success that it was.
Further congratulations to ProudPapa14 and m14man who completed their IIT journey and honored me with the privilege of awarding them with their Red Hats at this Appleseed. HUZZAH!
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you (along with the folks you've 7th stepped) at Hinckley, MN September 11-12!
