Sponsor tables include a corporate sponsor gift, Sponsor couple tickets $275, Couples tickets are $60, Single tickets are $50 and Jakes tickets are $15 each. All ticket prices include admission, dinner and a single one-year NWTF membership.

Local and state NWTF chapters host thousands of similar events nationwide each year to raise funds that help conserve wildlife and habitat, and introduce new people to the outdoors. Many families enjoy hunting together and pass traditions on from one generation to another. Hunting is important for the health of our nation’s wildlife and habitat.
