OSA banquet ends its 2011 year on a high note
Last Saturday evening (Dec. 3), the Ormsby Sportsmen’s Association (OSA) of Carson City held its traditional end-of-the-year banquet at the Carson Nugget and ended the 2011 year on a high note.

OSA is one of the largest (200 paid-up members) and most active sportsmen’s club in Nevada, having been formed way back in 1945.
It holds its monthly meetings, beginning at 6:00 p.m., on the third Tuesday of the month in Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr-May plus Oct-Nov. Those monthly meetings are held at the Carson City Sheriff Office’s conference room.
For Jun-Jul-Aug-Sep, it holds pot luck picnics, beginning at 5:30 p.m., and they are also held at the Carson City Sheriff Office.
Then OSA wraps up each year with its big annual banquet on the first Saturday evening in December, held at the Carson Nugget.

The “You Screwed Up” Award:
Awarded to the club member who screwed up the worst during the year.
This year it was awarded to Brent Hettrick.
He bought a luggage carrier for the top of the family’s Lincoln Navigator SUV and loaded all the family’s luggage there for a trip to Disneyland.
When he went to park in an underground parking lot, the low ceiling of the garage tore off the luggage, the luggage rack and put a big dent in the top of the SUV, causing more than $2,000 damage to the vehicle.
In addition, about one hour later, he got a ticket for speeding.
The “Sure Shot” Award:
Awarded to the club member who fired the most shots during the recent big game hunting seasons.
This year it was awarded to Wyatt Law, age 14, who got his very first deer. He also set the new record for the award by firing a grand total of 25 shots during various seasons before punching his deer hunting tag.
Finally:
OSA dues are $5 for adults and $2 for youths under the age of 16.
