The Ladysmith Hotel was packed to capacity on Saturday night for the Ladysmith Sportsman’s Club’s 21st . . .
annual awards night, as local hunters and anglers got together to swap tales from the bush.
Hotel owners Cathy and Ernie Pasch were kept busy giving out awards and prizes supplied by sponsors. Entertainment for the evening was provided by the Kyle Felhaver Band, who kept everyone’s toes tapping and hands clapping with their upbeat tunes.
In the back room, an array of deer racks sat on a table for judgement. The awards were followed by a moose calling competition, where one by one, participants stepped up to the microphone and gave their best grunts and cries. In the end, Peter Scharf was named the winner, something he attributed to many years of practice.
