Looking to build off of their annual winter banquet, Ducks Unlimited is hosting a Sportsman Night on Saturday in Humboldt.

The event will take place at the Bella Vista Bar, according to Events Manager Travis Behning.

"We have a couple of banners that we are going to be selling raffle tickets on for 20 dollars a ticket," he explained. "Also, the Bella Vista is doing a pound of wings and bucket of beverages for 10 bucks."

Like the banquet, proceeds from Saturday's event will go directly back into supporting wildlife in the Humboldt area.

"The money does go to local projects in and around Humboldt. When attendees go to our main auction and dinner they get to see where the money goes to," Behning said. "Some of the dollars are earmarked for conservation and buying land in the area and making sure we have land that is good and conducive for duck habitat."

He added that the event will be come-and-go style, with Ducks Unlimited there from 2:00pm to 10:00pm, selling raffle tickets.

Behning says he is looking forward to meeting more people from the Humboldt area.

"I encourage everyone to come out and say hello," he said. "There is a Rider game on Saturday as well, so we're looking forward to it."

The annual DU banquet is slated for Saturday, March 25.
