EDGEFIELD, S.C.— The National Wild Turkey Federation invites women from all walks of life to learn, laugh and lighten up as the NWTF’s Women in the Outdoors program celebrates its 10th anniversary at the Wild Turkey Center in Edgefield, S.C., Sept. 25 to Sept. 28, 2008.
Since 1998, the NWTF’s Women in the Outdoors program has worked to share the outdoor tradition by providing expert instruction and hands-on education through events designed for women. During its inaugural year, Women in the Outdoors hosted 18 events and today the program organizes more than 400 events across the nation.
Participants at the 10th anniversary celebration will have the opportunity to learn about the Women in the Outdoors program, experience fishing, canoeing, camping, Dutch oven cooking, outdoor photography and archery, visit the NWTF’s national headquarters and the state-of-the-art Winchester museum and much more.
“This event will be one of the most exciting outdoor get-togethers women have ever experienced,” said Patty Foster, the NWTF’s national coordinator for Women in the Outdoors, southern region. “We’re offering two days of hands-on activities through more than 30 classes, pro staff instructors, guest speakers, music, vendors, a special auction and so much more!”
Registration for this national event costs $300, and covers lodging, meals, transportation to and from the airport and transportation to all weekend activities. For those who do not need overnight accommodations, registration costs $60 for one day or $85 for two days. All registration forms must be received by Aug. 31, 2008. Those who register by Aug. 1 will be entered in a special early-bird drawing to win a Remington Model 1100 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun with the Women in the Outdoors logo.
“Outdoor enthusiast or not, any woman can enjoy meeting with other women and learning about a variety of outdoor topics at this unique event,” said Tammy Mowry, Women in the Outdoors national coordinator, northern region. “The energy and level of excitement cannot be explained – it must be experienced.”
