25th ANNUAL SPORTSMAN'S DINNER Follow-Up

Saturday March 8, 2025

The 2025 Detroit Area Steelheaders (DAS)Sportsman's Dinner Saturday, March 8,  came off once again, as has come to be expected ...A HUGE SUCCESS!!  Our only fundraiser will help us once again to attain our mission of promoting and protecting the Great Lakes fisheries!


Our Sponsors stepped again to do their part. For the 2nd year at our new location, the Century Banquet Center served up a fantastic meal to the delight of the crowd of 340 attendees. No complaints were heard and again the Open Bar was crowd pleaser as well!  Our sincerest thanks to our new hosts for also providing the venue and servers!


Michi-Gun provided a great selection for our Gun Draws and the gun winners all went home very happy!  

A Big Thanks to Richard Barch and the Mich-Gun Staff for all their support!


Many thanks to John Lombardo of Lombardo's Taxidermy for the beautiful Wild Life display!


Thanks again for Billy Hoffman on his excellent job as MC and keeping the evening's dinner, raffles and drawings at a great pace and ensuring everyone was able to get home early.  Billy was his usual funny, entertaining self!


The Dinner Ticket Stub Raffle, (3) $1 and (25) $5 Table Raffles, the 50/50 Raffles, the Quilt Raffle, the Meat Cooler raffle, E-Bike Drawing and the Charter Raffle were tremendously successful and experienced the best ever ticket sales! Thanks to all of our Sponsors for allowing us to present the great selection of prizes! See the complete list of sponsors below.


The entire evening wouldn't have been possible without the tremendous effort from our WGD Chairman Carl Ventimiglia and his wife Kellie for putting the whole thing together. Many, many Thanks to them! And of course, the rest of the Board of Directors (BOD) of the DAS ------ Jim Zanke (President), Bob Feisel (Vice President),James Anderson (Secretary), Nathan Case, Kevin Longley, Bob Paradise, Blaise Pewinski, Rob Pinskey and Virginia Williams as well as volunteers Vicki Feisel, Anthony Lewis and others who worked behind the scenes.
