~~ Bear Essentials ~ Sept 12, 2017~~

Kentucky’s famous farmer/poet/novelist Wendell Berry, widely admired as one of 

conservation’s most prolific and gifted writers, explained it best:“To put the bounty and the health of our land, our only commonwealth, into the hands of people who do not live on it and share its fate will always be an error. For whatever determines the fortune of the land determines also the fortunes

of the people. If history teaches anything, it teaches that.” Greg Walcher 

              

Tim Gates helped us promote the theme of this years festival:  "United We Stand"

Compared to other nations, the United States is young. But at 230 years, our Constitution is by far the longest lasting constitution in human history. More importantly, it is responsible for our nation becoming the freest and most prosperous nation in human history.

Today, the future of both freedom and prosperity are in question in our country, largely because we have been failing to teach our young people the fundamentals of American civics that are essential to preserve free government. Learn how you can help.

No more Steaks on the Grill if Animal Activists have their way

Activists in attendance were encouraged to be as extreme as possible to advance their goals, including breaking the law when necessary. Attendees were also told to pressure restaurants, retail and foodservice brands to adopt certain policies with the end goal of forcing them to stop selling animal products.
