Youth Mentors
bjrogg:
Thanks Clint, but there were a lot of other people who really did the hard work setting this whole event up. Us "Mentors " had the fun job.
JW you are so right. It was so good to see all those kids with their parents and nobody starring at a phone. There where probably a dozen different Mentors set up. I didn't even get to see them all but I thank them for their participation. One I would have liked to check out because I really liked their name was call "No Child Left Inside " , don't even know what they we're demonstrating but those are words to live by.

The reference is from the book by Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder. The No Child Left Inside Coalition has been endorsed by 58 different organizations from the whole spectrum of outdoors groups. Supporters come from tree hugging interests on one side to hook-and-bullet clubs on the other! All agree if we don't get off our butts and get the next generation of conservationists started it is over.

Paul it was at the Grindstone City & Port Hope Sportsmens club. I thought they had a very good turn out. I really don't know if it's a annual event or first time deal. A friend of mine suggested that I contact them and I did. It was after they already had their fliers printed out. I told them I didn't need to be on a flier and they could count on me as a definite maybe. If I wasn't harvesting wheat yet I'd be there. Worked out we finished up the wheat a few days before and I contacted them again and told them I'd be there.
Thanks JW it really did have me curious as to what they were demonstrating. I'm not sure but someone was saying something about one of the groups having some animals. It might have been them.
