The Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie has announced the 2025 inductees into the Arkansas Waterfowler Hall of Fame.
Greenhead editor Brent Birch is among the distinguished honorees; others joining the Hall of Fame this year include the late former Gov. Dale Bumpers, Frank Lyon Jr. and David Snowden and David Snowden Jr.
The group was honored earlier this month with a reception at the Grand Prairie Museum. An official induction ceremony will be held on May 21, 2026 at the Country Club of Little Rock.
Proceeds from the induction ceremony will benefit the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie in Stuttgart, where the Waterfowler Hall of Fame is housed. Birch is part of the event organizing committee, along with Chairman Jim Ronquest, 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 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. We’re proud to recognize their remarkable legacies.”
The May 21 “southern comfortable” induction ceremony will include a pre-dinner reception from 6-7 p.m., live music and a live auction as we pay tribute to this deserving class. Additional information and sponsorship opportunities will be available soon at waterfowlerhof.com.
