Every year, more than a hundred outdoor enthusiasts come together for a casually competitive day on the links at Jester Park Golf Course. This well-paced outing follows best-ball gameplay and includes prizes for both men’s and women’s longest drive, longest putt, and closest to the pin as well as first, second, and third place teams. You’ll enjoy the lush scenery of this property while spending the day outside, raising funds for conservation and recreation.

Athene Watershed26 is a summit designed to drive change and chart our shared path forward. The Upper Mississippi River Watershed stands at a
crossroads. Agricultural runoff, public health risks, and recurrent flooding are converging into one of the most pressing environmental and economic challenges of our time. Addressing these issues requires a new model of collaboration between agriculture, conservation, public health, and private sector leaders. This conference will be held at the Iowa Events Center on June 30 and July 1, 2026.
