Area hunters are asked to donate animal hides to the Elks Lodge veterans program. The deer, elk, moose, bear, goat, or any other hides are tanned and turned over to the veterans and several children’s hospitals to make braces and to be used in therapy work. Orange collection barrels have been set up at Sandy Beach, behind the Elks Lodge, at the city dump and 3 Mile Sawmill Creek Road.
