The fire is burning as hot as when flint met steel and started it in 2004! Rendezvous' marquee event captures the energy of an adventure outdoors, the warmth of a night around a campfire and the stories and the spirit of public land hunting, fishing and conservation. Join us on April 20th at the MN State Fairgrounds to sit back and revel as storytellers join us onstage from across the continent to weave tales of public lands and outdoor experiences. As we celebrate and pay homage to the last 20 years of boots-on-the-ground conservation victories, come along as we throw another log on and look forward to the next 20 years!

Keng Yang is an avid adult-onset hunter who discovered his love for the sport in 2017 when he got his first bird dog, Kaiya. He finds great joy in chasing pheasants and waterfowl in the beautiful wilderness of western Minnesota during the fall, and turkeys in the spring. But Keng's commitment to hunting goes beyond just a pastime; he is a compassionate advocate for the outdoor hunting and fishing communities in Minnesota.
As a chapter board member of Minnesota BHA, and serving on the MN DNR R3 Committee, MN DNR NHAC, and Minnesota Conservation Federation, Keng has devoted his time to ensuring that public land is protected and accessible to everyone. In fact, Keng hunts on public land 99% of the time, which has fueled his passion to be a strong voice for protecting and creating more public land. He believes that the great outdoors should be enjoyed by all, and that preserving public land is essential for future generations to continue to appreciate its beauty.
Keng's gentle and kind nature is reflected in his work as a mentor and advocate for conservation. He inspires others to take an interest in preserving public land, and his message is clear: by working together, we can protect our natural resources and ensure that they remain available for everyone to enjoy. For Keng, hunting is not just a hobby, it's a way of life that brings him great happiness and fulfillment, and he hopes to share that same joy with others.
