2012 Kansas Ringneck Classic
November 15-18, Thursday-Sunday
The community of
Oakley, Kansas was honored to host the Inaugural Kansas Governor’s Ringneck Classic in 2011. It was a tremendous opportunity to spotlight hunting tourism in Northwest Kansas. Approximately 90 volunteers from 10 different Kansas counties rolled out the “blaze orange” carpet to welcome Governor Sam Brownback and 68 invited hunters. “It was a beautiful, cold Kansas day, and I hope I can speak for all the hunters when I say that I had a fabulous time,” Brownback said.
The 2011 Classic included a community dinner and country music concert, an awards dinner, and silent and live auctions. Over $50,000 was raised during the weekend’s activities benefiting area charities as well as Pheasants Forever wildlife and habitat conservation. The Ringneck Classic organizational committee is looking forward to another great event in Oakley November 2012!
