Had a great day for an egg hunt!! We appreciate everyone that came out and participated in our annual event. Plenty of parents, grandparents and some great-grandparents came out to watch their children hunt for 1,800 Easter eggs filled with candy. Everyone enjoyed a nice lunch before the hunt and then all the kids got to pick out a door prize after. Everyone had a wonderful time and left with their bellies full and lots of candy. Hope to see everyone next year!!
A special Thank You to all the volunteers who make this event a great time for the kids.

The Jefferson Sportsmen's annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held this Saturday March 28th. We will have 1,500 eggs! This event is open to the Community to children up to age 10. Lunch will be provided starting at Noon along with great prizes. Hunt begins at 1:00 pm. We ask that all participants bring a canned good item or give a monetary donation. The club donates to a couple local food pantries each year. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing the kids have fun this Saturday.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Jefferson Carnival is fast approaching and we need help!

This carnival is a big fundraiser for all three organizations and it’s important that we have our members help run this week long carnival. JSA is the largest organization of all three and we have multiple stands that we need volunteers to help staff. The carnival starts Monday July 14 and runs til Saturday July 19 (6 nights from 5:30pm-10:00pm) and the club would just like a couple hours of your time so that we can make this a successful week. With the funds we receive the club is able to keep YOUR ANNUAL DUES at a reason cost. So lets step up and show your support for your sportsmen club and the local community. Give our president Doug Boyer a call 717-578-0179 and let him know you are available to support the carnival. This is also an opportunity to receive $25 off your 2026 dues, get your membership card signed and hand in when renewing.
