Hunting Heritage Banquet

Mark Aug. 9 on your calendar and get your tickets now for the next local Hunting Heritage Banquet.
The Jeff Davis County chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation will host their annual banquet at The Cotton Patch Extreme, 495 Towns Bluff Rd., Hazlehurst, to raise money for projects that conserve wildlife and preserve Georgia’s hunting heritage.
“This is the chapter’s 2nd year hosting our banquet, and we look forward to having another award winning event,” said Bobby Sears. Last year’s event won the chapter two state awards and one national award. “It’s the best opportunity in town to meet other people who care about conservation while enjoying good food, good music and good fun.”
Dinner starts at 7 p.m., but arrive at 6 to enjoy a social hour before the banquet begins.
Families can play games and enter raffles to win guns including Benelli, Glock, Kimber, Remington, and Winchester. There also will be silent and live auctions for exclusive framed art, guns, collectibles, sculptures home furnishings and more. Attendees that bring a back to school supply item will receive a $20 raffle ticket.
Corporate sponsor tables that seat six people cost $500 and include a corporate sponsor gift. Couple’s tickets are $100 and single tickets are $60. All tickets include admission, dinner and a single one-year NWTF membership.
Local and state NWTF chapters host thousands of similar events nationwide each year to raise funds that help conserve wildlife and habitat, and introduce new people to the outdoors. Many families enjoy hunting together and pass traditions on from one generation to another. Hunting also is important for the health of the nation’s wildlife and habitat because hunters fund conservation.
