California Waterfowl Association’s Banquet 2023 Attendees had to wade through the weather to attend

Bishop, CA—The 16th annual Bishop Chapter’s of the California Waterfowl Association’s (CWA) Banquet went off with weather hitches galore, but those who attended were pleased with the auction, the atmosphere, and all of the smaller events within the banquet. It seemed that the weather really played a factor in who was able to attend, Joe Pecsi, President / Chairman of the Bishop Chapter, says. Even folks from Mammoth Lakes were unable to get down to the banquet, and those who did make it might have had to wade, like a duck, to the Tri-County Fairgrounds for the dinner and excitement. “We missed those who could not attend, due to weather, and we’re hoping they’ll be able to join us next year,” Pecsi adds.

The Bishop Chapter of the CWA was formed 17 years ago, Pecsi, says. He’s the founder / chapter president of Bishop’s CWA and of the banquet, which draws avid outdoors people from around the state, normally. However, with every road into Bishop basically being closed / snowed over / flooded, and with the previous three years of the pandemic, Pecsi says this is the 16th annual banquet, although it would have been 17 years. Pecsi and his wife, Marcia, are very active in the CWA banquet’s success and other CWA statewide events, and Marcia was recognized with a statue this year for her behind-the-scenes, “continuous support over the past 17 years,” the statue and plaque read.
