GLENWOOD — Everyone is invited to "A Tale of Two Tails," a unique public event Friday April 25 from 3-7 p.m. at Glenwood Community Park. The Two Tails — turkey tails and fish tails — represent some of the many popular outdoor sports in the Gila Wilderness.
Sponsored by Impact Outdoors and Outlaw RV, the event kicks off with a flag raising ceremony honoring our service members, youth and volunteers.
A free dinner will include picnic fare like hot dogs and hamburgers. Desserts will be provided by members of the community.
Other activities include live music, a mechanical bull and a bounce house.
There will be exciting giveaways and a raffle for items including a one-of-a kind-knife by Mustache Forge and a gun cabinet by Razwood.
There will be presentations and exhibits by local biology and hunting experts about the rich history of Catron County, how Gila Wilderness biodiversity supports the wild turkey population, how to master your turkey call, turkey hunting tactics and the terrestrial biology of the Gila.
On the following two days, veterans and youth who previously applied, will dry camp and experience fishing and actually hunt wild turkeys as part of the Impact Outdoors outreach program.
Glenwood Community Park is located on Catwalk Road (NM-174) off Highway 180 in Glenwood. It has a large playground area, a covered pavilion and is just a few miles from the famous Catwalk Trail. For more information, go to
