Many Thanks to our Sponsors! Who wants to top the list in 2025?

Our events would not be successful without the hard work and countless hours of our committee, support of our volunteers, sponsorship partners and donors. Matt Olsen, Lee Zimmerman, Mike Shouse, and Paul Korthuis are going way above and beyond in making the banquet a success!

Who’ll step up their support and join this special group in 2025?

We would really like to have you attend our next banquet because we know you will have a great time! However, if you cannot make it, and would like to donate to, or sponsor some aspect of the banquet, please reach out to Lee at texaz7@outlook.com or Matt at olsensoutdoors@gmail.com

This year, our event salutes the following people who have gone the extra mile to make it happen! They are: Chester Moore, and Ardia and Roy Neves, all of Texas Fish and Game Magazine.
