Gun Dog's Kali Parmley to keynote annual Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic event
By Lexi Ashbrook
This year's 2026 Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic Women on the Wing Brunch is going to be an event you won't want to miss!
In honor of bird dogs and how they get us into the uplands, our theme this year is A Friend in the Field. We will encourage participants to make connections as we discuss all things bird dogs, friends, and instilling confidence in the field with our keynote speaker, Kali Parmley.
We will also be recognizing the first ever Women on the Wing Chapter National Award Winner, the Capital City Lady Birds.
Women on the Wing Brunch
9:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Connecting with other women whose paths may have never crossed 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.
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 gun 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 make a new Friend in the Field. We can't wait to see you there!
