Here's a picture of the first Pheasant Fest we did for Pheasants Forever in 2005, six years, six times now. Back them we didn't know what to expect and we only had me and Greg Dershem working. Since then so many great people have helped. Charlie Herzog, Pete Kappes, Ross Berck, Tom Wooden, Allan Swanson, Ed Morgan, Greg Schroeder, Jeff Kuss, Col. Jeff Klein , Mike Koranda and the Minnesota boys, Dr Dick Dow, and I hope I haven't forgotten anybody. Had some great times with wonderful people. Parker collectors have flown in from the east and west coasts to mid winter northern midwest cities to help.
So 6 X 20,000, maybe 120,000 people exposed to Parkers, many for the first time. I don't know how many new members and maybe $12,000 brought in on raffle tickets.
Thanks to many for wonderful help.
Best,
Bruce
