Salina Ducks Unlimited Banquet
Ducks Unlimited is certainly no stranger to the Smoky Hill River Valley, North Central Kansas, or Saline County. In fact, Saline County once hosted a staple banquet in Kansas for many years. From those roots, the outdoor tradition, and support for DU’s mission (conservation, restoration, and management of wetland habitats for the benefit of waterfowl), in the Salina area is still quite high.
Last fall a small group of concerned sportsmen pulled together to begin rebuilding the Salina Ducks Unlimited chapter. While this chapter has a long, and storied, past; it had not functioned for two years. Ultimately, the goal is to rebuild the volunteer-led chapter to a point we can host our own Ducks Unlimited banquet.
The Salina DU volunteers have built a strong cast of volunteers and is currently in the middle of planning their spring event. They wanted to bring this chapter back to town and build a long-term foundation to put this chapter back in the front-runners of events in Kansas.
This year’s dinner banquet is on Saturday, March 29th at the Salina Expo Center. Doors open at 5:30pm, but we urge everyone to be on time. We have numerous raffles we expect to sell out early in the evening. The live auction line-up includes 4 of the finest firearms ever offered by DU (including names like Beretta, Marlin, and Colt). A top-notch dinner (catered by Howard Wagyu) will precede the nights entertainment (a live auction by Terry Zimmer & Kurt Marshall).
Salina DU is on the rebound, and we want you to be a part of what will soon be one of the best events in the state of Kansas. We are only offering 225 seats to this event. Only 15 sponsor tables are available for this event. We will sell out and hope you don’t wait to purchase your tickets. Early bird purchasing discounts end on March 15th, so secure your seat by then!
With the new event, we certainly anticipate questions. Feel free to visit www.ksdu.org for more details about the event. Feel free to contact Jesse (785-819-6935) with any direct questions.
