The 2023 BCPF Annual Banquet is March 18, 2023 and will be held at the Sleepy Eye Event Center. Tickets are going fast. We are less than 1 week away from the event. Please Buy Your Tickets Early
For all attendees who purchase tickets at the door we will not be able to guarantee your meal. We will be reserving meals for all advance on-line and mailed in ticket purchases. So we encourage you to get your tickets ordered no later than Wednesday March 15th. We appreciate your support in this effort.
One item we would like to point out is the pre-event special for Rooster Bucks’ For $100 is cash you will get $140 in Rooster Bucks to
spend at the event. You will get more for your money buying early. This deal goes away Wednesday March 15 prior to the event, so get them early while you can. This deal will not be offered at the event.
Note: Winners of some of the guns will need to arrange for them to be picked up at the FFL(Federal Firearms Licensing Agent) D & B Enterprises in Brownton, MN after the event. New ATF rules & restrictions have increased processing and delays.
Timing of the
Banquet: The doors will open at 4:30 pm sharp. Our goal is to have the event completed by 9:30 pm. Dinner will start at approximately 6:30-7:00 pm.
We hope to see you at the Banquet.
Thanks, Tim Kraskey, President Brown County Pheasants Forever. (His Dogs; Nellie & Billie)
Hunter Dream Raffle: Tickets are still available but are going fast. We are estimating we have less than a handful of tickets. This year’s prize is a nice collection of Savage/Stevens guns and a $500 gift card for a safe to hold them. Tickets are $25.00 each and we will select the winner at the 2023 banquet in March. You can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket. These tickets do sell out. Get your tickets now from any board member.
The monies we receive through donations, fund raising, and membership are critical to us enhancing or purchasing lands for all the public to enjoy. We encourage everyone to renew their membership to Pheasants Forever or upgrade their membership to a Lifetime membership.
Pheasants Forever is the only national organization with a model of chapters keeping 100% of the funds they raise. While belonging to a larger national organization that has a voice on federal and state conservation policies, chapters are tasked with finding projects for their funds. Minnesota takes full advantage of this model using funds raised for projects locally as well as other areas in the state of Minnesota.
