Breckyn Peterson, shown above with Rainwater Basin Chapter president, Corey Ebert, began the 34th annual Rainwater Basin Pheasants Forever banquet with a magical rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. An estimated 300 banquet goers joined the evening’s festivities at the Sutton Community Center, Saturday, Feb. 24. The fundraiser featured over 25 guns for the silent and live auctions, with a total of at least 38 live auction items going on the auction block. Below, Regan Jerred, the master of ceremonies of the banquet, and board member, Jerry Overturf get the live auction underway following a meal, with a big ticket item prize.
