Wow, what an amazing night!
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our NWTF Hunting Heritage Banquet last night! Whether you joined us for dinner, bid in the auctions, bought raffle tickets, volunteered your time, or simply came out to support our chapter — we are incredibly grateful for you.
A special thank-you to our Silver Sponsor Tables:

From our NWTF chapter to all of you — THANK YOU!
And, of course… we hope everyone had as much fun as we did! If you have any pictures from the evening, we’d love to see them — send them our way or tag us! And if you have any feedback or ideas for next year, we’d love to hear those, too.
Thank you again for making our 2026 Hunting Heritage Banquet one to remember! We’ll see you next year! 🦃
