Marquette, Michigan –

The Home Builders Association of the Upper Peninsula (HBAUP) and this year’s sponsors went above and beyond at the 8th Annual Wild Game Dinner, hosted at NMU’s Northern Center! This incredible event sold out completely, drawing home builders, industry leaders, and supporters from across the state and even the country. More than just a night of great food and fun, the Wild Game Dinner raises essential funds for scholarships that help young individuals build rewarding careers in the trades.

A Night of Excitement, Generosity, and Outstanding Cuisine

From the moment guests arrived, the energy in the room was electric. Attendees eagerly placed their raffle tickets, bid on exclusive silent auction items, and joined in on the excitement of the newly introduced live auction.

At 6:00 PM, HBAUP Executive Officer Sarah Foster and Adam Carpenter of The Outdoor Show officially kicked off the evening. Their heartfelt opening remarks emphasized the significance of this annual event in strengthening the home-building industry and supporting the next generation of skilled tradespeople.

Then came the much-anticipated dinner! Guests enjoyed an exquisite wild game feast, featuring a mouthwatering selection of dishes:

  • Juicy Bison Tips
  • Boar and Mushroom Gnocchi
  • Salmon
  • Curried Goat
  • Lamb Meatballs
  • And More!

Exciting Raffles & Unforgettable Prizes

The excitement continued well into the evening with thrilling raffles, where winners celebrated their prizes with cheers. The kids’ raffles were a standout, offering young attendees an introduction to wildlife conservation and responsible outdoor practices. Thanks to the generosity of HBAUP’s sponsors, an impressive array of prizes left attendees delighted.

A Community Event That Keeps Growing

The 2025 Wild Game Dinner was another huge success, further cementing its reputation as a must-attend event in the Upper Peninsula and beyond. With an outstanding turnout and enthusiastic participation, anticipation is already growing for the 9th Annual Wild Game Dinner next year!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, the sponsors who made this event possible, and the Home Builders Association of the U.P. for their unwavering dedication to the industry.

We can’t wait to see you at next year’s Wild Game Dinner—bigger, better, and more exciting than ever!
