Ducks Unlimited Banquet Coming up
Author: Jesse Swenson
The Upper Missouri River (Townsend) Ducks Unlimited Annual Banquet is coming up on Saturday, November 5th, at Watson’s Gym. Fundraising banquets such as these preserve and create wetlands that will help ensure that waterfowl will have places to nest, raise their young, migrate through and winter in each year. Your attendance at the Townsend banquet will help DU conserve wetlands and critical upland habitats vital to North America’s waterfowl and the more than 900 other species of wildlife that use these same habitats. DU has conserved more than 14 million acres of waterfowl habitat in North America, more than any other conservation organization in existence, including restoring, enhancing, and protecting 257,937 acres within Montana. While DU’s #1 priority is waterfowl, more than 900 wildlife species benefit from our conservation work.
There will be many raffles, drawings, and door prizes for the adults and the kids (Green Wings). Prizes include a Youth 20 ga. TriStar Shotgun, a Weatherby Mark V 6.5 300 mag, two Tristar 12ga., a Henry Bigboy .44, a Traditions Buckstalker 50 cal. Muzzleloader, Benelli 20 ga., Colt 1911 .45ACP, Retay 12 ga., Springfield 9mm, Legacy .410 O/U; Canik 9 mm pistol, Winchester 12 ga., Artwork, Decoys and many more items for raffle, silent auction, and live auction. Doors open at 5:00 pm with raffles, games, and drinks catered by the Commercial Bar, dinner catered by the Watson’s of Prime Rib at 6:30 pm, and the Live Auction will start at 7:30 pm.
