EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The NWTF Wyoming WITO Chapter celebrated the passion of women in the outdoors at their annual WITO Camo and Pearls banquet in Riverton, Wyoming October 7.

The banquet was a remarkable success, bringing together women of all ages and backgrounds who share a passion for the outdoors.

Under the theme “Camo and Pearls,” attendees had the opportunity to express their affection for the outdoors in creative ways. Those who dressed in camo and adorned themselves with pearls were rewarded with tickets for exciting door prizes.

Male chapter committee members assumed various roles during the event, from pouring wine and overseeing games to managing raffles. Additionally, they took charge of serving the meal and ensuring that every detail was taken care of.

The evening featured an array of silent auction items, with 98 percent donated by local businesses. The event catered to the diverse interests of all attendees, with 53 silent auction items providing a wide array of choices and opportunities for all.

During the event, the Wyoming NWTF State Chapter also announced the scholarship recipient, Tandee Masco, awarding her a $1,000 scholarship in recognition of her outstanding achievements and dedication.

“Putting together this banquet allows these women to come enjoy winning guns and experiencing amazing camaraderie, all in return for the tremendous contributions these ladies have made to all of us over the years,” said Joan Eisemann, Wyoming NWTF State Chapter president. “It was a great event raising money for a great cause, and the committee and community are truly remarkable.”
