Grubby Hill Flytying Workshop
TWEP hosted a flytying workshop on September 26 at 3:00. The Workshop was planned to honor John "Grubby" Hill who was a member of the community. Grubby enjoyed hunting and fishing and enjoyed sharing his knowledge by teaching others. We are hoping to host a 2nd workshop when we have the interest. Please call the Center to get on the list. When we see we have enough interest, we will set a date. | ||
