Fish and Game puts on a Wild Night

By Lori Larsen

Come on out to the Norsemen Inn on March 25 for wonderfully wild night of food, fun and recognition at the 26th annual Camrose Fish and Game Association’s (CDFGA) 2 Wild Night dinner and awards event.

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. for cocktails and some desirable delicacies of wild game appetizers, followed by an Alberta roast beef dinner at 6:30 p.m.

After the meal sit back and settle in for a good belly laugh to the hilarity of comedian Ken Valgardson.

Ken has been sharing his life experiences as a retired full time teacher of Grade 1 to 12 for 35 years, with audiences across Canada for over 33 years.

His hilarious but honest take on the idiosyncrasies of youth, marriage, jobs and other real life circumstances has his audience engaged in a way that is not just comical but relatable.

As one of Western Canada’s favourite corporate comedians Ken is able to adapt his “laugh at life” routine to touch on so many subjects.

As a resident of rural Alberta, Ken’s experiences of farm life makes him loved by rural communities.

Prior to the evening entertainment the CDFGA will be presenting the 2022 awards.

To add to the evening of good food and good laughs there will be a silent auction, raffles and door prizes.

The Camrose Fish and Game Association is notfor-profit charitable organization affiliated with the Alberta Fish and Game Association operated solely on volunteers advocating the common interests of ethical hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, starting at 7 p.m., at the community room of the Camrose Superstore.
