Pheasants Forever banquet Saturday

The fourth annual Pheasants Forever, Wedding of the Waters Chapter banquet has much in store for its annual banquet Saturday, Oct. 29 in its work to enhance the sport and keep youth involved in pheasant hunting.

The banquet starts at 5 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Hot Springs County Fair Building. It features adult and kids games to test your luck to win valuable prizes. A live auction will feature 22 items including artwork, food, drink, firearms and more. There will also be 10 raffle buckets and 10 silent auction items.

The chapter is completely about getting kids involved and teaching safety. The proceeds of the banquet will be used to support Hot Springs County youth programs including youth hunts that will be organized in the fall.

The purpose of the organization – statewide and nationally – has been to improve pheasant habitat, but in Hot Springs County it will primarily support and educate children. Another purpose of the banquet will be to get more people from the county involved with the organization.

The auctions, raffles and games will feature donated items and merchandise from local businesses and individuals.

Tickets to the banquet are available at the Thermopolis-Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce, White Horse Country Store and by calling 921-1538.
