This year’s 2025 Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic Women on the Wing Brunch is going to be an event you won’t want to miss! In honor of the 20th anniversary of Quail Forever, our theme this year is Rise Together. We will encourage participants to make connections as we discuss all things quail conservation with women who are experts in their field. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, March 9 from 9:30-11:30am. The event will showcase an inspiring line-up of women speakers: former director of Missouri Department of Conservation, Sara Parker-Pauley, keynote speaker, will be joined by a panel of speakers including Dr. Jessica McGuire, Dallas Ingram, Bridget Costanzo, Dr. Susan Felege, and other dynamic experts!

Showcase speakers

We’re very fortunate to have the opportunity to gather such a talented group of women for this event. Panel members will discuss the role that coming together and building relationships has played in their development as hunters and conservationists, along with other topics that are sure to provide engaging discussions. Audience members will have the chance to ask the panel their own questions as well.

Connecting with other women whose paths may have never crossed otherwise, is important when it comes to having a support system, someone to learn from, mentor, or plan a hunting trip with! As women, we know that connectivity and relationships help build confidence when trying something new or expanding on current knowledge. We know that women are the fastest growing demographic in the hunting community, and this brunch provides ample opportunity to foster connections with other women who are involved in many different aspects of conservation, both personally and professionally.

During the event, we will have a raffle and silent auction that will help raise funds to support the Women on the Wing initiative! Our hope for this event is to have participants leave with a network of connections of women who can help us all Rise Together. We can’t wait to see you there!
