The Northeast Alabama Chapter of the NWTF will host its annual banquet
at Chattokee Lodge, 1877 AL Highway 35 in Gaylesville, to raise money
for projects that conserve wildlife and preserve Alabama’s hunting
heritage.

“This is the chapter’s thirtieth year hosting our banquet, and every
year is better than the one before,” said Harlan Starr. “It’s the
best opportunity in town to meet other people who care about
conservation while enjoying good food, music, and fun.”

Dinner starts at 6:30 PM, but arrive at 5:30 PM to enjoy a social hour
and music before the banquet begins. Families can play games and enter
raffles to win up to 14 guns, including Henry, Benelli, Remington,
Springfield, Stevens, Franchi, and Browning. There will also be silent
and live auctions for exclusive framed art, guns, collectibles,
sculptures, home furnishings, and more. Local vendors have supplied some
very unique and one-of-a-kind items for this year’s event.

Corporate sponsor tables that seat eight people cost $1200, including a
corporate sponsor gift. NWTF Sponsor Tickets are $300, which includes
two meals and one membership. Couple tickets are $80, and single tickets
are $60. The ticket price for children under the age of 16 is $20. All
ticket prices include admission, dinner, and a one-year NWTF membership.

Local and state NWTF chapters host thousands of similar events
nationwide each year to raise funds that help conserve wildlife and
habitat and introduce new people to the outdoors. Many families enjoy
hunting together and pass traditions on from one generation to another.
Hunting is also important for the health of our nation’s wildlife and
habitat because hunters fund conservation. Locally, our chapter hosts a
hunter safety course free of charge and a gun safety class for a minimum
charge and helps take those with disabilities out on hunting trips.
