Dakota Chapter Pheasants Forever
Serving Central and Southwest North Dakota
2025 Dakota Pheasants Forever Spring Banquet
The Dakota Pheasants Forever Spring Banquet will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at the Bismarck Hotel and Conference Center.
Pheasants Forever’s unique model where all funds raised by the Chapter stay local and allows us to support local habitat projects including nesting cover, winter habitat, pollinator plantings, youth outreach, and food plots. Your membership dollars support the national organization that allows the local model to exist and thrive. Children are welcome to attend, become members, and purchase tickets on the youth table with a parent or guardian; however, only those youth who are ages 8-17 are eligible for the youth shotgun drawing.
Purchase your tickets early as this is a “limited seating” event. Late sales will be available only as facility capacity allows. Membership in Pheasants Forever is required to attend. Additionally, a member is allowed to purchase a meal ticket for guests. Please use the enclosed form to select the options that best fit your situation. All tickets purchased in advance will not be sent to you but will be held at the door for you on the evening of February 1st.
This year we are offering an “Early Bird” raffle for a Weatherby Orion (22-23 PF gun of the year) 12 ga. shotgun. Tickets are $10 each. Purchase as many tickets as you like; however, the deadline to purchase “Early Bird” tickets is Tuesday, January 21, 2025. “Early Bird” tickets are reserved for banquet attendees only and will be automatically placed in the drawing for you. Again, this year you have the option to purchase as many of the 15 Prize Raffle Tickets (featured on the letter) as you want but, the offer is limited to 350 tickets. If the raffle is sold out when your form is received, you will get a refund. You do not need to be present to win prizes in the 15 Prize Raffle. You may use check, money order or cash to purchase these tickets.
Thank you to all of the sponsors, donors and members who continue to support Pheasants Forever, and the Dakota chapter, in our efforts to develop and maintain habitat.
