The Arkansas Waterfowler Hall of Fame has announced its 2025 class of inductees, revealed during a special reception hosted Thursday, November 20, at the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie. This year’s honorees include Brent Birch, The Honorable Dale Bumpers, Frank Lyon, Jr., David Snowden, and David Snowden, Jr.
An official induction ceremony celebrating these distinguished contributors to Arkansas’s rich waterfowling heritage will be held May 21, 2026, at The Country Club of Little Rock.
Event proceeds will support the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie in Stuttgart, which houses the Arkansas Waterfowler Hall of Fame. The event is organized by a dedicated volunteer committee, including Chairman Jim Ronquest, Brent Birch, Greg Churan, Jeff Churan, Anne Marie Doramus, George Dunklin, Lee Ann Blackwell-Hoskyn, Gar Lile, Jenna Ronquest, and Fara Foster.
“The Arkansas Waterfowler Hall of Fame allows us to honor the people whose passion, stewardship, and commitment have shaped Arkansas into the nation’s premier waterfowling destination,” said Chairman Jim Ronquest. “This year’s inductees represent the very best of that tradition. Their contributions—whether in conservation, community leadership, or the advancement of our waterfowl heritage—have left a lasting impact that will benefit generations to come.”
The May 21st ‘southern comfortable’ induction ceremony will feature a pre-dinner reception from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., live music, and a live auction celebrating this accomplished class. Additional event details and sponsorship opportunities will be posted soon at waterfowlerhof.com.
