We Have a Winner!
On March 15, 2009, the McCabe Chapter drew a winner in the custom-built blackpowder gun raffle. The gun is valued at $3,000. Proceeds from the raffle are supporting the chapter's efforts to fight the spread of aquatic invasives, especially the fish disease VHS, through the Great Lakes. The winning ticket was #35, which was held by an Ike from Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Observing were McCabe Chapter President John Lindgren, Vice-President (and master gunsmith) Brent Gurtek, and Curt Leitz. The McCabe Chapter would like to thank everyone who supported the cause by entering this raffle. The W.J. McCabe Chapter of the Izaak Walton League is a grassroots environmental organization that has worked for decades to protect the natural resources of Duluth and greater Minnesota. We take a common-sense approach towards protecting our country's natural heritage and work to improve outdoor recreation opportunities for all.
