​The Deuel County Community Foundation’s Annual Pheasant Hunt was held on Friday, October 26, at Dakota Ridge near Lake Alice.  It is the second largest fundraiser for the Foundation and was organized by Cory Borg and Chad Schiernbeck who serve on the Foundation’s board.  This event has been made possible for several years thanks to the generous donations from Dakota Ridge, Jim and Linda Dailey, and the hunters who participate.  Following the afternoon of hunting, the hunters and a guest were invited to stay for a catered steak supper provided by the Toronto Café this year.  Hunters who attended this year’s invitation only event were (left to right):  Larry Goodroad, Mike Schiefelbein, Cody Krause, Chuck Atyeo, Jeff Mortenson, Lyndon Limberg, Matt Baer, Wayne Schiefelbein, Rory Olerud, Robb Krause, John Lynde, Brett Knutson, Matthew Lynde and Bryan Lipp.  Scott Christopherson and two representatives from Invenergy also attended.  ​
