Pheasants Forever Fundraiser Thursday

Pheasants Forever is dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.

The DeKalb County chapter of Pheasants Forever is making plans for its annual fundraising banquet, a highlight for area outdoorsmen, hunters, and conservationists. The banquet is scheduled for this Thursday, March 5th, 2015, at St. Mary’s Hall in Sycamore. Social hour gets underway at 6 p.m.; the dinner begins at 7 p.m. for all interested persons.

Along with dinner there will be an auction and raffles. Proceeds from the event will be used in the DeKalb County area for local habitat and educational programs. The local chapter has generated over $285,000 to create and maintain over 3,000 acres of habitat and 1,400 acres in food plots over the past 30 years. The annual membership and dinner ticket is $60 for members. Guest tickets for dinner only are $35.

Table reservations can be made for parties of four or eight people. All other persons will seat themselves at a non-reserved position at a table. For ticket reservations contact Ken Kubycheck at ken.kubycheck@yahoo.com or Gordon Kohn at 815-758-2653.
