Fort Macleod Fish and Game Association celebrated Saturday the achievements of its members over the past season.
A record 240 people filled Fort Macleod and District Community Hall for the annual banquet and trophy presentation.
Vice-president Landon Schneider said that kind of support is important to the association.
“We do have a lot of plans,” Schneider said. “We want it to be a big part of the community again.”
Schneider said there have been discussions on events such as a turkey shoot, trout pond and pheasant hunt.
