General Information: For another year, the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter celebrated National Get Outdoors Day with other service organizations in the area. This event was sponsored by the Coronado National Forest, Sierra Vista Ranger District and held at Parker Canyon Lake.
The event encourages families to enjoy the great outdoors in their own “neighborhood”. A variety of groups gave demonstrations and offered information for their representative interests.

Next door at the booth, Chapter members fielded questions on purpose and activities of the organization. The up-coming Annual Hunters Heritage Banquet and JAKES Day were highlighted, also.
The weather was very pleasant for a mid-June day. The warm temperatures were tempered by increasing cloud cover and a smattering rain showers.
