Pheasants Forever (PF) announces special attractions highlighting the Youth Village at this January's National Pheasant Fest presented by Cabela's. The Youth Village, sponsored by Pizza Ranch, offers activities for young people of all ages. Highlights include archery, laser shot, and live birds and aquatic creatures!
National Pheasant Fest will take place January 18th, 19th and 20th at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in Saint Paul, Minnesota. "This will be Pheasants Forever's biggest and best Youth Village yet," said Rich Wissink, PF's Youth Program Specialist, "We have an assortment of activities that are not only fun, but also educational. More importantly, the Youth Village is something the entire family can enjoy."
The Youth Village sponsored by Pizza Ranch is a great place for families to hang out at National Pheasant Fest, with its family stage offering everything from live storytelling, how-to demonstrations on skills such as casting and fly-tying, and nature crafts. Youth and their families will also have the chance to meet Pheasants Forever's lovable youth mascot, Rudy the Rooster.
Members of Pheasants Forever's National Youth Leadership Council will also be on hand at the Youth Village at National Pheasant Fest, running many of the activities and working in the booth. Members on the NYLC are spokespersons for their age group on hunting and conservation issues and help advise Pheasants Forever.
