A banquet and auction to benefit waterfowl habitat will return to Iola March 1 with the annual Neosho Valley-Iola Chapter of Ducks Unlimited banquet and auction.
Doors open at the Iola American Legion Post at 5 p.m., with a barbecue dinner starting at 6:30. The auction follows.
Among the items to be sold or given away through drawings are shotguns, a series of prints of varying size, a number of decoys, a lawn chair and rocking chair.
In addition, other donated items will be sold during a silent auction. Proceeds go to Ducks Unlimited.
Advance tickets sell for $35 for adults, $45 for couples and $15 for youths 17 and under. They can be ordered by calling Max Turner, 365-6118. Ticket prices go up $10 apiece after Saturday.
The chapter also is looking for sponsors, at a cost of $250 apiece.
Corporate tables also are available — good for eight tickets and a free print — for $400.
