21st Annual Hunting Heritage Banquet
Sierra Vista ~ Cochise County, Arizona
August 3rd, 2019

What:  The Huachuca Gould’s Chapter 20th Annual Hunting Heritage Banquet
When:  August 3rd, 2019
Where:  Knights of Columbus, Sierra Vista, Cochise County, Arizona     
General Information: The Huachuca Gould’s Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation hosted its 21st Annual Hunting Heritage Banquet.
  The Banquet is an important fund-raising event that supports Chapter community-based activities held throughout the year. These activities include JAKES Day, Family Get Outdoors, Turkey Hunters Care, Women-in-the-Outdoors, College Scholarship, and habitat improvement projects. 
  This year, 195 attended including 23 JAKES. Eight corporate Tables were reserved as well.
  An assortment of guns, camping equipment, excursions, fishing tackle, wildlife prints, and even a chain saw, smoker, and an ice chest full of choice cuts of beef and pork were offered in games, auctions, and raffles. Special raffles were held for the ladies, JAKES, banquet underwriters, veterans, and first responders. JAKES showed their turkey calling skills to the delight of the Banquet attendees, also. The Commissioners’ State-wide Turkey Tag winner was announced as well.
  Festivities started with the Gobblin’ Hour for sipping, socializing, and tale swapping. Auctioneer Bruce Tingle followed with an invocation before a delicious dinner of turkey with fixings and apple and an assortment of desserts. 
  Veterans and first responders were recognized for their service to our community and the nation. Betty Phillips, Fort Huachuca Wildlife Biologist, received a turkey figurine and certificate of appreciation from the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter for her contribution to improving wildlife habitat in southeastern Arizona.
  Finishing out the Banquet were the JAKES turkey calling contest, live and silent auctions, and several raffles.   
  Thanks are due to the 25 volunteers from the Huachuca Gould’s and Arizona State Chapters for their efforts in hosting the Banquet. Their work started several months earlier with fund raising and planning. Deserving special recognition for assistance at the banquet are Justin Watts (NWTF Regional Director), Ryan Conat (NWTF R3 Coordinator), Auctioneer Bruce Tingle, and Sheena Chavez and Craig King of King’s Armory (FFL Dealer).
  Many, many, many individuals and businesses made supporting donations in the form of funds, merchandise, and services.  They are: List below the photos,
​  The Huachuca Gould’s Chapter thanks all that attended and the donors and underwriters for their generous support. We hope to see you next year at the 22nd Annual Hunting Heritage Banquet!
