Welcome friends to our 36th annual Dane County Pheasants Forever Banquet. Our organization continues to change in order to better serve our role as “the habitat organization” by sponsoring local habitat restoration projects. We have worked hard to continue our tradition of hosting the finest wildlife banquet in the area and are confident you will have an enjoyable time supporting your local chapter. If you like to win guns, then you won’t want to miss this banquet. Over 25 quality guns will be raffled off, along with other great prizes. Be sure to check out this year’s art print of the year “Wild Wings Snow Birds” by artist Scott Storm– it’s beautiful.

 

This year’s live auction will feature an exquisite private wild game dinner for up to 8 people at Bistro 101 in Mount Horeb.   You and your party will enjoy a gourmet multicourse dinner with complimentary bourbon pairing.  Additionally, if you return your banquet invite by January 15, you will be automatically entered into our “Early Bird” drawing for $500.00. For a complete breakdown of cash prizes, please refer to the “Cash for Habitat Raffle Information” page.
