The 2026 Illini Lodge Winter Banquet will be held Saturday, January 3rd, 2026, at the Beef House in Covington, IN. This annual gathering celebrates fellowship and recognizes the outstanding contributions of Arrowmen throughout the year. All lodge members and their guests are invited to enjoy an afternoon of camaraderie, honors, and tradition.

Before the meal, join us for the Pre-Banquet Hour of Brotherhood, beginning at NOON (IN Time) / 11:00 AM (IL Time). During this time, members can visit committee booths, explore new lodge merchandise at the trading post, and meet the recently elected lodge officers. It’s also a great opportunity to learn more about lodge committees and find the one that best matches your interests for the coming year. Gifts and prizes will also be available.

Lunch will be served at noon (IL time), featuring the Beef House’s well-known steak meal.
