I spent the day at Chloe Clark Elementary School talking to the kids about trapping and furs. One class at a time total of about 220 kids.
The kids were great and loved the furs I had to show them. Have to say I think I had as much fun as the kids.
A few pictures I took.

Way to go! I'll bet a couple of them caught the finger-in-fur disease. Future trappers!

I specifically remember one little girl that had her brow furrowed up and a disapproving look about her. That changed and when she got a chance to touch the fur she was as excited as everone else.
Fielded a couple of difficult questions but I was honest and the kids accepted the answers pretty well.

Well done, thank you for taking the time to help educate the younger generation. What was the hardest question you got?

Great job! Thanks for taking the time to show these kids what you do. We all need to try and teach the younger generation about our sports.

Time well spent educating the young ones!

I don't know where Chloe Clark Elementary School is but I'm guessing it's not in the Seattle School system....

Just south of Tacoma at Dupont.

Toughest questions I had involved where I got the animals and why they were killed. Hard to put it in terms a 1st grader understands but I think they came away with an understanding without upsetting them.
One thing I won't lie and tell them a fairy tale.

Funniest question or at least it tickled me. I have an old felt hat with sweat stains that I wore to the school. It was raining and I need a warm hat for my bald spot. I took it off in school and laid it on a chair with my jacket back out of the way. One little boy asked "What happened to your hat" My answer " It got old" Then the next little boy asks "Can I have it"

Excellent JOB!!! The younger you can teach them the better off our sport is.
