2026 North Central WA Mule Deer Foundation Banquet is approaching!

[bearhunter99]

Its that time of year again!! You know, where I beg and plead with everyone to come and have a night of fun with great food, drinks and a chance to win a gun or other great prizes!

We are back again....  We almost decided to hang it up again over the winter but have been talked into giving it one more go, at least....

We have our banquet set for April 18, 2026 in Cashmere at the Chelan County Fairgrounds. 

Chapter banquets are one of our main sources of revenue and enable us to work on projects to enhance and conserve habitat.    MDF’s Chapter Rewards Program ensures that a portion of the proceeds generated from local banquets will remain in the area to be used on local projects, based on the banquet's net to gross percentage.  The higher the percentage, the better the reward for the local chapter. 

We have some exciting projects coming up (finally) and the MDF biologist will be at the banquet to talk about them.  We are teaming up with Pheasants Forever to do some plantings where the Red Apple and Chelan Butte fires were a few years ago.  Come see where the local money is going and get a chance to talk to Ryan!

Doors open at 5:00 and we are working on extra bartenders for the first hour to get rid of those lines!

We have some great prizes this year and I will be updating this post with some of them as we confirm but it looks like we will have at least a couple high end firearms!   Great games, great food catered by Riverside Catering (smoked Tri Tip and citrus herbed chicken!) and great fun to be had by all.  We have some great things lined up.

We will be having a women's table with some great prizes including a snazzy little pistol so bring the better half!

Youth are more than welcome as well!  If we sell enough tickets for youth we will have a mini game with a chance at winning a special prize for youth!!

Tickets can be purchased from me or online (link will be added within the next few days).

We had a great time last year and are looking forward to an even better evening this year so hope to see everyone there!

On another note - We are in serious need of volunteers!  Both for banquet night setting up and running the games and we need help with gathering donations.  Last year we had 3 volunteers and the rest of the banquet was all run by my wife, daughters and my daughters' friends and it was tough!  Any and all help would be much appreciated, everything helps!  If you have kids in school that need community service hours this is a great place to get them!  We don't judge - we will accept help from anyone!!!

Online ticket sales are still open!  We can also accommodate those that would like to pay at the door but I would appreciate a heads up if you plan on doing that so I can get a headcount for dinner!

We have a Fierce Twisted Rogue and the gun of the year (Henry lever action 45-70) that are going to need new homes!!
