Critter Gitters Raccoon Tournament

12/05/2022

Good Evening Everyone!

We hope that you had a great Thanksgiving with your loved ones!

We wanted to jump on here to let everyone know that we collected $922 to go towards our donations from this years Tournament. $461 will go to St. Jude’s and $461 will be going to the Sabula-Miles VFW Post 5234. Even though we did not have the turn out that we were hoping for this year with it being opening season of deer hunting for Illinois and just having down right awful weather, I think we can all agree that we raised an awesome amount!

We can’t wait until next year so keep your eyes open for more information regarding next years Tournament!

Thanks everyone!

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to make a quick post about the apparel! Originally the t-shirts & hoodies were meant to be olive green, however due to an unforeseen circumstance, they are now black. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For those of you who ordered apparel online and got it delivered to you, you should be seeing a $2.00 refund per item that you purchased for the inconvenience.

**We will have select ADULT size HOODIES only at the event.**

Thank you all for your continued support!
