It’s time to eat!
Organizers of the Wild Game Dinner are looking forward to serving a delicious variety of game to a large crowd this Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Blanco County Show Barn in Johnson City.
This year’s fare is fried axis and fallow, wild game chili, whole roasted hog, wild boar BBQ, gumbo, jambalaya, fresh homemade sausage, boiled and fried shrimp, fried pork, brisket, fried sweet taters, along with bacon wrapped dove and quail. The meal includes Dutch oven cobbler, other homemade desserts and tea.
Doors open at 5 p.m. with serving and raffle starting at 5:30. It’s the best deal in town — $15 for the meal, door prize chance, and dance until midnight with The Mike Clifford Band.
The 50 raffle items look like everything you’d need for the deer lease (and more). Included are 20 rifles and shotguns, scope, binoculars, game camera, cookers, a shooting bench and much more.
Only those attending the dinner will be able to participate in the 100 Square Raffles, including one-of-a-kind Patriotic airbrush designed Remington 700 BDL 270, John Wayne airbrush designed Henry 22LR Lever Carbine and Yeti Roadie. Also, $20 “Pick of the Raffle” chances will be sold until 8 p.m.
The live auction includes seven high-end guns, a Texas A&M dining table from DeLeon’s Outpost, Handcrafted Metal Chiminea from D&H Equipment, Spurs game for four in Ledge Box Seats, Laguna Madre Fishing trip for two, and several hunts, including a quail hunt in Sandy, trophy Aoudad hunt at Benson Farm and Ranch and a youth exotic hunt at Dworaczyk Ranch.
