Keeping People and Wildlife Safe in Wyoming
Tuesday February 7 at 6:00 pm

Iowans Out West Series - a new series underway to raise money for the Hurstville Outdoor Makeover project. We are featuring
local residents who will present exciting programs about something of interest they have done ‘out west’! Along with each
program, supper will be served; the food will relate (somewhat) to the speaker’s topic. Cost for program & meal is $9/person
(come hungry!). Tickets must be purchased by the Wednesday prior to the program for meal planning. Limited seating is
available. This month listen to Nate Johnson, Iowa DNR Wildlife Conservation officer as he discusses his experiences as a
conservation officer in Wyoming.
