The Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club would like to thank everyone for attending our 9th Annual Ladies Night Out Banquet on October 1, 2018. This year Denise Wirz & Cindy Brokiewicz co-chaired the event and the
banquet was a great success due to the hard work planning this event by the committee, over 30 volunteers and the generous support of our banquet attendees. The funds raised at this year’s event will be used for donations to the Brazeau Dive Team, Kelly Advancement Association, our Fish Stocking and Pheasant Planting projects, the Kids Fishing Derby, annual Ice Fishing Derby and our Scholarship Program. Donations in the form of a nonperishable food item and cash were collected at the banquet by Lifetime members of Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club, Bob & Judy Jandt This year the donations collected for a food pantry were taken to Feed My Sheep in Lena, WI. A delicious dinner of chicken and tenderloin tips along with side dishes and desert was served to the largest number of attendees of our Ladies Night Out Banquet to date. 193 ladies took part in winning Prizes from our jewelry, gun, basket, bucket, walk arounds and diamond earrings raffles along with our Grand Prize of a Las Vegas package. Gift certificate giveaways collected from local businesses surprised many of our guests towards the end of the banquet. We hope everyone had a great time! We would also like to thank all our volunteers, Romy’s Holiday Inn and our raffle prize donors. Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club will host our 10th Annual Ladies Night Out Banquet on October 7, 2019.

2019 Kid's Fishing Derby Recap2019 Kid's Fishing Derby The Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club held its 7th annual Kids Fishing Derby on Sunday, June 2, 2019 at Holt Park, Kelly Lake. The derby is held each year on Wisconsin DNR’s free fishing weekend. Bruce Watruba and Cindy Brokiewicz chaired this year’s fishing derby, with club volunteers, helping to make the event fun for 95 kids and their families. Fishing forecast for the 8am start time stayed true with near perfect weather and the kids enjoyed a morning of fishing, a fish contest, bucket raffles, lunch and door prizes. This year a special “Eddie & Janice Watruba Memorial Gift Drawing” took place with a winner taking home a kayak with accessories and also two winners of a 1/2 day pro fishing trip were picked from all registered at the derby. Blue KLSC Kids Fishing Derby t-shirts were given to each preregistered participate along with a bobber, lure, flashlight and a container of worms. It was great to see all the kids wearing their shirts throughout the day. The kids did an amazing job catching bass, perch, blue gill, crappies and northerns with prizes and a fish badge award for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. We even had a club member volunteer to clean their catch of the day. Lunch of hot dogs, string cheese, bottled water, chips, fruit cups and homemade desserts was served.
