The biggest gathering of upland hunting enthusiasts is coming to the Kansas City Convention Center March 7-9. It’s been ten years since the National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic visited the City of Fountains, and it’s a perfect weekend activity for any outdoors enthusiast.
“We're excited to be back in Kansas City. We'll be right at the meeting point of Missouri and Kansas, two states with deep ties to upland bird hunting," says Marilyn Vetter, CEO of Pheasants and Quail Forever. “It’s a unique opportunity for upland hunters, conservation professionals and wildlife enthusiasts to come together to celebrate our shared passion for hunting and conservation.”
The event will be headlined by a conservation benefit concert featuring Muscadine Bloodline. For dog lovers, proceedings will be kicked off by a bird dog parade, which in past years has featured over 100 dogs representing over 40 different sporting dog breeds.
There will also be over 400 exhibitor booths including upland gear, bird dog supplies, camping gear and more! Attendees can visit a variety of stages, which will feature talks and Q&As covering topics such as how to improve upland habitat, wild game cooking, how to get into upland hunting and more. Families can explore the Youth Village, which will feature a variety of hands-on nature-focused activities.
There will also be the opportunity to talk with Pheasants and Quail Forever biologists at the Habitat Help Desk. If you’ve wanted to plant pollinator habitat in your yard or learn about conservation practices to grow wildlife populations, the Habitat Help Desk is for you.
