Central Alberta Trout Unlimited Dinner and Auction

Hi Everybody!

Last night was our Central Alberta Trout Unlimited Dinner/Auction! The entire evening was a major success. The banquet room was full with well over 130 individuals who came out to support our chapter. We had over 90 donations for the bucket draws, silent auction, and live auction as well as several cash donations that will be used for projects. The auction was a lot of work to take on but our Dinner/Auction Chairman, Doug Pullen, was instrumental in ensuring the evening was a success. The meal put on by the Black Knight Inn was fantastic. Everybody had a great time bidding on items in the auction. 

With cash donations, the auctions and games; almost $30 000 was brought in and after expenses for the evening (paying for the dinner, room, etc) we made close to $20 000. 

Special thanks to our committee that included:

Don Pike Special Events Chairman from Trout Unlimited Canada
Doug Pullen 
Karen Vanderwater
Bob Vanderwater
Colton Swann
Bill Young
Grant Stang
Troy Langelaar
Derek Fuchs
Larry Prowse

We also had lots of support from the gang at Trout Unlimited Canada.



Don Pike was our Master of Ceremonies


Rick Horn was our auctioneer. He kept the audience in stitches with his humour and he certainly got lots of participation in the auction.


We has a wide variety of items donated for the auction.


 Don Andersen


The Central Alberta Chapter of Trout Unlimited took the time to honour two amazing individuals. Both Don Andersen and Barry Mitchell have been the backbone of so many projects that our chapter have undertaken over the last 30 plus years. We owe both Don and Barry a big thank you. You will not find two more passionate men who believe that our fresh waters need to be protected, conserved and restored.
