Wednesday Win: Post an Opening Day Photo

At the TRCP, we work hard so we can play hard, and when opening day rolls around it’s like Christmas for our staff.

For this week’s Wednesday Win, we’re giving away a hand-tied, commemorative Bully Bugger to the individual who posts a picture of their opening day outing on the TRCP Facebook page and gets the most likes by next Wednesday. Here are some photos of TRCP staff from various opening days in their respective states.

 

Wednesday Win: Help Name the TRCP Blog

Help name the TRCP Blog and win the ultimate TRCP care package.

We launched the TRCP Blog back in June and we’ve heard lots of positive feedback from our partners in the conservation community. But now we’d like to hear from you.

We want to give the TRCP Blog a name worthy of its content and we want you to help select a new name.

Submit your ideas for a blog name on our Facebook page, tweet it to @theTRCP with the hashtag #TRCPBlog or e-mail us at info@trcp.org. The contest will be open from Wednesday, Oct. 10, to Wednesday, Oct. 17.  We will be narrowing down the suggested blog names and asking our partners to vote on the names they like best, then announcing the winner on Friday, Nov. 2.

If your blog name is chosen, we will send you the ultimate TRCP care package, including a TRCP Buck knife, a signed copy of Steven Rinella’s new book, “Meat Eater: Adventures from the Life of an American Hunter,” a TRCP hat and a Bully Bugger made exclusively for the TRCP. The first and second runners-up will receive TRCP hats.

Good luck!

P.S.  When brainstorming blog names, keep in mind our focus on all things Theodore Roosevelt, conservation, fish and wildlife.
