Matt Widgren
First buck is bagged with a bow
On Nov. 14, the last day of the first half of the bow hunting season, Matt Widgren, 12, of North Hudson, shot his first buck near Webster. The drive home took longer than normal since Widgren and his father, Tom, stopped at friends and relatives along the way to share the news. Widgren, a graduate of a hunter safety program, will hunt with his dad during the gun season, which starts this Saturday morning at dawn.

While the Society does not have enough information about the wedding of Miss Moffat and Mr. Hughes to stage a re-enactment of their ceremony, in tribute to them, the bride and groom re-enactors will be called "Miss Mary" and "Mr. Tom."
