Two weeks after I posted our requests, Frank and Nancy Hempen, representing Weld County Yelpers, kindly advised us they would provide TWO new eight-foot picnic tables and some log stools.  Additionally, Cherylon Loveland donated a picnic table as well to Swift Ponds.

On Friday, June 8, Frank and Nancy delivered the first picnic table which was beautiful!  It is built very sturdy with weather-treated wood so we know it will last for many years!

The table served to host a second group, High Country Drifters, that desperately needed facilities to grill hamburgers and serve 20-30 young boys lunch on Saturday.  They also used the table to tie flies for fly fishing at Swift Ponds.

Chase and Frank are pictured above, thanks to Nancy.  Frank is the president of Weld County Yelpers, from the Greeley National Wild Turkey Chapter.  Their organization is responsible for the WITO, Women In The Outdoors, event that is held at Swift Ponds every year in the fall.  I learned that their chapter recently won an award for their successful WITO event.

I want to personally thank Weld County Yelpers for their generosity and for their dedication to helping women enjoy the outdoors!

If you are interested in the WITO event, please contact Chase and I will get you their contact information.

Thanks again Frank and Nancy!
