2022 Brown County Banquet Summary
Greetings from the Banquet Committee.
On March 19th, 2022, the Brown County Chapter of Pheasants Forever (BCPF) will be held its 31st Membership Banquet at the New Ulm Event Center, New Ulm, MN. Attended by around 330+ people this year, our Banquet is our primary fundraising tool. 100% of the funds raised stay with the Brown County Chapter and will be invested in Brown County. Our banquet has been wildly successful and has resulted in Pheasants Forever, Inc., investing over $4 million in Brown County since our founding over two decades ago. Of course, we owe the success of our organization to our donors, volunteers, and most importantly, members like you.

Thanks to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, committee members, and of course the generosity of our members, the 30th Annual Banquet was a success. With over 400 people in attendance, nearly every seat was accounted for as well as over 35 guns were given away.
Brown County Pheasants Forever raised over $25,000.00 at the 30th Annual Banquet. That’s $25,000 to support youth outdoor endeavors, acquire habitat, and most importantly, improve the lot for pheasants and other wildlife in Brown County, Minnesota. After all, that’s really what it’s all about.
