Two local community projects received major donations Wednesday night from the Manitowoc Unit of County Fish & Game Protective Association.
Following word of a successful Lenten Fish Fry that raised over $1200 last Friday at 7 Lakes Golf & Dining, members of the Manitowoc Unit wasted little time in putting that money to work.
They donated $500 to Manitowoc Gun Club for their BirdBusters youth shooting program at the club.
The program invites 10- to 18-year-olds and college students to get them involved in the shooting sports.
A second $500 donation was approved for the Manitowoc Mountain Bike Trail Club for the development and maintenance of additional trails at Vits Park in Manitowoc.
The unit cited their attention to creating trails that the public could enjoy while using strong conservation practices.
Vits Park, on the city’s west side, has undergone major work with new parking, restroom, and access areas.
Manitowoc Fish & Game works to promote and protect the rights of sporting men and women in the county through a variety of projects and educational programming.
