The Frenchman Valley Ducks Unlimited Chapter’s annual banquet is scheduled at the Imperial City Gym Saturday.
The banquet last year was canceled a week before it was scheduled due to COVID close-downs, said Jason Speck, chapter chairman.
“There are a number of activities happening at this year’s event,” he said.
Social hour will begin at 6 p.m. with various games to raise money and win prizes.
Supper will be served around 7 p.m.
During the evening, there will be about 15 items for a silent auction and 25 items for a live auction, said Speck.
“We will also be selling raffle tickets for several guns, including a 223 AR rifle,” he added.
Proceeds from the event will go to National Ducks Unlimited where it will be used to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl.
Ticket prices are $45 for singles and $55 for couples.
“Masks are recommended but not required,” Speck said.
