Pope County Area Pheasant Restoration banquet is March 2

The Pope County Area Pheasant Restoration group invites the public to their 37th annual banquet on Saturday, March 2 at the Minnewaska House. Refreshments will be served at 5 p.m., and the dinner will follow at 7 p.m. The organization is run entirely by volunteers, and they support over 350 feeding stations and 80 food plots on over 230 acres. All money raised supports the local pheasant population and stays right in Pope County. They also sponsor a free annual fun and educational Youth Event as well as general habitat improvement across the county.

The banquet will include games, raffles and many, many prizes (over 200).

Advanced sale tickets are $50, which includes membership and the dinner. Tickets are $60 at the door, but the banquet usually sells out ahead of time. Call 320-333-1267 to reserve your ticket. (E-mail: popecopheasants@gmail.com)
