(Havre) – From October 5th to October 8th the Northern Lights Athletic Scholarship Foundation(NLASF) will be hosting their 23rd Annual Legends for Lights Pheasant Jamboree. Bobbie Morse the executive director for the NLASF talks about the event.
“So, we have registered teams that will start trickling in on Thursday. Thursday evening, we have a private dinner and everything like that Friday morning, we start the morning off with a trap shoot at the Havre Trap club so that kind of a fun event. the public is able to attend that and can compete with the legends that and the other registered team members. while Friday night we have a dinner and auction so that’s kind of just our kickoff to the weekend. Saturday morning, we send out everybody hunting all day and then Saturday night is just an evening of rest should they choose that. Sunday morning is again a full day of hunting, and they’ll get back late afternoon and then the weekend just comes to an end with a prime rib and shrimp dinner and an awards ceremony.”
she goes on to talk about who will be at the event.
“This year we have several different legends from the NFL we have, you know, MLB and some from hockey. So, people like Casey FitzSimmons , Dylan McFarland, we have a new legend coming in Bill Cowher, he’s got a pretty extensive background in the NFL not only with playing but with coaching. Lonni Warwick, Ken Jolly, Rob Nenn is our baseball player so it should be fun.”
She continues by talking about what the NLASF is.
“The Northern Lights Athletic Scholarship Foundation was founded to help in the development of MSU-Northern athletic programs. So, we provide scholarship money to student athletes. Each year the NLASF raises money by holding local events such as the spring fling, we have the Legends for Lights Pheasant Jamboree and other fundraising campaigns like Wheat for Winners, and we also have a tailgate in the fall up at the football stadium.”
She finishes by explaining if the event is open to the public.
“So really the trap shoot is the only thing that is open to the public. We’re able to have them if they want to buy an all-access pass for the weekend, they can do that, they can’t go out hunting. It’s more of an all-inclusive. They get to come take part in whatever’s going on at the Chuck Wagon.”
