The Dave Garrett Memorial Scholarship was conceived five years ago by Dave Garrett, an avid trap shooter and active lifetime member at Hidden Valley Sportsmen’s Club. His vision was to build a scholarship program to assist area youths who have chosen to further their education in conservation or science fields. Sadly, he passed away before the first scholarships were awarded.
This marks the fourth year of presenting scholarships. The Garrett family makes a generous donation to the scholarship fund, and Hidden Valley Sportsmen’s Club hosts the Dave Garrett Memorial Scholarship Trap Shoot with proceeds donated to the fund.
