Title: WARNING: Intermountain Fur Sale might not happen
Post by: Trapper John on March 16, 2020, 12:27:09 PM: Hello Everyone, :hello:
I just talked with Bernie Nelson President of Idaho's Intermountain Fur Harvesters.
He told me that they "MIGHT NOT" have their fur sale coming up in a couple of weeks.
Reason is that they moved the sale from where they had it last year to a school this year.
And with this coronavirus and just about everything is shutting down the sale might not happen at all.
This sale might not happen but I'll keep you updated as I find out more.

Well I was under the weather so I figured I didn't need to share what I have with you guys and I didn't need to pick up anything too.
You shipped ............. Fur Harvesters just canceled their March Fur Sale. Read my next posting.
We're all in for a rough ride.
JC :(

Post by: Machias on March 17, 2020, 01:33:03 PM: We regret to inform you that the Intermountain Fur Harvesters fur sale scheduled for March 27-28 has been cancelled. We were notified today that our venue at the KTEC center has been closed as part of a district wide closure of school facilities. Do to the difficulties of finding another suitable venue at short notice and the potential risks of hosting a large public gathering we will not be scheduling an alternative event in the near future. We are all disappointed and apologize for the inconvenience. The IFH board has indicated they will draw a winner for the gun raffle at the end of March and announce the winner to the group..

In addition to the cancellation of the fur sale, we will not be meeting this Friday for our previously scheduled IFH meeting. Please stay tuned for meeting announcements in April.
