Syracuse.com - Reader: Don't forget the women at the annual Sportsmen's Dinner at Driver's Village

"Please mention about the women. I would love to see more women there. We love the outdoors, too," she said..

A female reader responded this week to my column about last week's annual Sportsmen's Dinner at Driver's Village. She pointed out the event, which featured celebrity bowhunter Randy McPherson, was not an all-male event as I had reported.

"I read with interest your article in the paper about the Sportsman's Dinner. It was a great dinner and a great speaker. I go with my husband every year. In fact there were many other women there. One women even won one of the bows they gave away.

"So I am writing just to gently remind you that it is an outreach for women also, even though the men do outnumber the women. So next year in your article please mention about the women. I would love to see more women there. We love the outdoors too."

Patricia, you're right. There were women there and I failed to mention that. Good point about the women loving the outdoors. Thanks for writing and keep in touch.

Thanks so much,

Patricia Urban
