🦆 Another annual Ducks Unlimited Banquet is in the books! We had an amazing night that was made possible by all of our business sponsors, committee members, individual sponsors, caterer, bar, volunteers, and every single individual that took the time out of their night to attend our event. Thank you to Nutrien Ag Solutions for being our first and only Title Sponsor! We also thank ARC Fabrication and Greg Smith as contributing sponsors. Dinner was delicious, and dessert was divine. Cookin’ Spoo Style knocked it out of the park! The Pheasant Blue Collar Bar and Grill were slinging drinks with a smile as always, and Cherie volunteered her personal service to the VIP table, making them feel right at home. Our Auctioneer this year was Patton Wright, whom we appreciate for doing a wonderful job and volunteering his time to do so. The Hermiston Trap Shooting Team worked hard selling raffle tickets and running the games, as well as being there to support the committee in ensuring the night ran smoothly. Our Sr. Regional Director, John Stanfield, has been extremely helpful throughout this process and tirelessly supports us in our endeavors. A special thank you to each and every committee member for the work that you do, especially when it involves wearing multiple titles throughout the night such as being the event FFL, Emcee, auction item model and social butterfly, or handling all clerical work behind the scenes!
Most of all, we thank Ducks Unlimited for the opportunity to bring these events to life in the support of our Wetlands for generations to come. Our region is encountering ever-increasing challenges in Wetlands Conservation, and we are grateful to our attendees and sponsors in their support of our mission.
