Steven Marking, “A Visit from Will Dilg” got a standing ovation from his phenomenal live performance. Drawing on impassioned speeches and editorials in Outdoor America magazine, Marking brings Will Dilg to life describing the imperiled environment along the upper Mississippi River region in the early 1920s and the League’s extraordinary campaign to convince Congress to establish the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.

Closing Banquet included a spectacular live performance of “Harriet Tubman Experience” by Millicent Sparks. Harriet Tubman’s life and legacy are deeply rooted in Maryland from her early life as a slave on the Eastern Shore to her extraordinary bravery as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad freeing more than 70 slaves from this region over a 10-year period.
