Pheasant Wild Rice Soup

South Dakota's state bird is the Chinese ring-necked pheasant, one of the world's most hunted birds. Pheasants can be found throughout most of South Dakota, except for the Black Hills, and is known for its delicious meat. While being high in cholesterol, pheasant is low in sodium and saturated fat. Since it is primarily a Midwestern bird, pheasant is considered a delicacy in many other states.

Hotel Information (2010)

For the 2010 Annual Session, 5 hotels have been selected to provide the number of guestrooms required for the conference (2 primary conference hotels in the Business District, and 3 overflow hotels in the Old Port District). Each hotel has unique qualities for your evaluation. From the convenient Business District location of the conference hotels at the crest of a gentle hill, it is an easy stroll to and from the vibrant and historic Old Port District.

These are the contracted rates for the 2010 NEAFCS Room Block — any rate you are quoted must match these. All hotels require that you call to make your room reservation. The reservation phone numbers are included below with each hotel's information. Please also make a record of your hotel reservation number, as it is required to complete your conference reservation (whether via online or mail-in form).

NOTE: All hotel rooms are subject to 7% Maine State Sales Tax.
