Saturday's "Women in Nature Outdoors Workshop" at the Dewitt Fish and Game Club was a great success, with some 100 women participating in a host of outdoors-related workshops.

The free event was sponsored once again by the Onondaga Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. The event featured a wild game lunch, which I attended. Offerings included moose meat balls; pulled barbecued venison, pickled pickerel, tarragon pheasant and fried perch and crappie. Delicious!

Seminars were offered in such areas as archery, firearms, outdoor cooking, outdoor shelter building, orienteering, flyfishing and kayaking.
