Western Outdoor Times - Times Spent Outdoors: Priceless!

We all have our own reasons to celebrate. Of course to many of us, it's the "C" in Christmas. We wish you a merry and meaningful one, followed by a Happy New Year.

Beyond the religious focus of December, we celebrate the gifts of outdoors: the season for ducks and quail and crappie for the hunting and fishing folks. We also find joy in time-honored traditions such as Christmas-tree cutting with family and friends, the beautiful lighted-boat parades, visits to our national and state parks during the cool days ahead, and yes, the always-delightful Renaissance Festival coming soon near the Superstition Mountains.
