RMEF chapter hosts annual banquet

The Big Horn Basin Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation chapter hosted their banquet Saturday night at the Hot Springs County fair building. With just 175 people in attendance, the chapter raised over $42,000 for elk country at 64 percent net.

Highlights of the evening included two last man standing coolers for $3,000 each, concealed carry purse and pistol for $850, $3,000 total for six range bags, $2,700 for the banquet rifle and $2,500 for the PBR package.

The energy in the room was high, with people bidding on silent and live auction items, taking aim with toy bows or rubber band guns and looking to win on the wheel or bean bag toss, among other activities.

In addition to, and separate from, the money raised for elk country, folks also raised $3,750 in memory of Brian Scott Gamroth for Hunting with Heroes and $6,325 for Carson Crofts, who is battling neuroblastoma.
