It’ll be a banquet you don’t have to hunt for.
The Lloydminster and District Fish and Game Association’s annual banquet on Jan. 31, is a chance for members and the public to mingle.

Notably, awards will be given out in a variety of categories.
“It’s an awards banquet and supper,” said Dwayne Davison, president, Lloydminster and District Fish and Game Association. “We give out the awards for the various big game and ducks, geese and fish for what’s been harvested this year for the membership. Then, they’re sent on to the provincial side of things and might get into the provincial record as well.”
Davison boasts that the appetizer table is the best he’s come across.
“I’ve never been at a better one,” he said. “Then, full meals, we serve turkey, beef, roast beef, fresh sauce, beef sausage and two kinds of fish.”
There will also be live entertainment at the event, but not of the musical variety.
“We have an entertainer this year named Calem Watson,” said Davison. “He’s an outdoor adventurist that has done some crazy things by himself.”
The event serves as an opportunity for the membership to meet and socialize.
“It’s a fundraiser for us, too,” he said. “It’s an outing and appreciation, it’s a big social event.”
His hope this year is to see numbers return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.
“We’re hoping to get back to our pre-COVID numbers,” Davison explained. “We haven’t done that yet. Prior to COVID, we used to have 425 to 480 people in total.”
Davison says they are the biggest fish and game club in Saskatchewan.
“We have anywhere from over 1,200 to 1,600 members annually,” he said.
The event will be held at the WLS Convention Centre with tickets available until Jan. 26.
“You can get tickets at Grindin’ Gears or I sell them myself,” said Davison. “People can give me a call at 780-808-6420.”
