The Friday evening banquet is one of the most highly anticipated events at the Annual Salmonid Restoration Conference.

The cost of a banquet ticket includes a delicious dinner, a silent auction, the awards ceremony, a Cabaret, and live music and dancing. Friends and family are welcome to purchase a ticket to the banquet even if they are not registered for the conference.

We are excited that the live band will be Casey Neill and the Norway Rats. Their music combines high energy rock rave-ups and haunting lush acoustic reveries built around melodic narrative songwriting. The Norway Rats are a collective of Portland indie all star players whose credits include The Decemberists, Eels, Viva Voce and more. Neill has been touring with the band and solo throughout the USA, Japan, and Europe for more than a decade. The Rolling Stone says of their latest album Subterrene, "(Neill's) songs mask their complexities beneath a simple, singalong-worthy surface... these swimming waters have serious depth."
