2019 Elk Toss Update
Although the 2019 Elk Toss has been scheduled for February 23, we are currently monitoring the partial government shutdown. If the shutdown continues into February, the Elk Toss could possibly be cancelled due to the lapse in funding of the DGS. Please be patient as we continue to assess the situation.

Driveway
In a recent telegram from the Wagner Farm, we received the following information:
"The driveway no longer exists. There is a pile of shale near where the driveway once stood. Plus there are now palm trees on my property!"
