Time to set up camp, light a fire, and celebrate! Please join the Minnesota Chapter of BHA for our 7th Annual State Rendezvous! This is the biggest public lands party we have all year and we want you there! It is a chance to connect with chapter members from around the state, learn new skills, and raise a glass for public lands, waters and wildlife! It will be a weekend of activities for all ages, complete with fishing, hiking, foraging outings, informational seminars, wild game cookoff, and lots of prizes and raffles! We will have the campground and pavilion reserved for the weekend, so join us for the weekend or just the day. Families, pets, and nonmembers are all welcome. We look forward to seeing you there!
