Families can play games and enter raffles to win guns and other NWTF items. There also will be silent and live auctions for exclusive framed art, guns, collectibles, sculptures home furnishings and more.

Corporate sponsor tables that seat six people cost $500 and include a corporate sponsor gift. Tickets for couples are $75 and single tickets are $55. All ticket prices include admission, a barbecue dinner and a single one-year NWTF membership.

Purchase tickets and sponsorships at https://events.nwtf.org/90740-2018.

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 also is important for the health of our nation’s wildlife and habitat because hunters fund conservation.
