2017 Elk Toss Date

Dispatch from the Wagner Farm:

 

It is with heavy heart and clear minds that we announce that the 75th elk toss will not be held February 24, 2017. Instead, we will hold the event February 25, 2017. It was many years ago that our elders gathered in a snow covered field and tossed the 1st elk in Danville. Now, 217 years later we continue this tradition 17 times. 1/3 of all the years have involved decades. In dog years, the elk toss is now a millennium.  There are new and exciting plans for the 75th elk toss (DGS sweat lodge, all new lake-front fishing on site, duck dances, and more). More details will follow. Please refrain from swearing.
