The 2026 Spring Banquet was a huge success with 59 members, spouses and guests attending the May 30th event. A special thank you to event organizer, member and Grounds Committee Chairman, Laury Gay, who put it all together for our club and its community. Laury’s team of helpers put in a lot of hard work to make sure every detail was handled. Noteworthy were Tina and Frank Yerry taking on sign in/raffle tickets, Kneeland Munson and Remington Wandall with parking and Gregge Shelton as Assistant Event Coordinator. The event was catered by local East Canaan establishment, Freud’s Farm Market and Bakery.
There were many winners for the charitable donations and raffle prizes that were presented at the banquet. Noteworthy were:
Andy Sabetta won the 4-night stay at member Steve Ellis’s Pittsburg NH cabin in the heart of the Connecticut Lakes region.
Doug Davenport won the Orvis Recon fly rod along with the one of kind LTC entrance gate painting created by local artist and LTC Staff Gregge Shelton.
Laury Gay’s family, Tina and Frank, won tickets to a 2026 NY Yankee game at Yankee Stadium.
Thank you to all that donated their gifts and time to make this a very successful banquet.
NOTE: LTC has an ACTIVE Membership drive underway, so help the club move forward with new members by talking with those you know in your fly fishing community.
