The third annual West Walker Sportsman’s Banquet
was held on Saturday, March 19th. This years event was
even bigger than last years, with the maximum capacity crowd of 300 people who attended.
It was really packed.

Although the doors weren't supposed to open until
5:00 pm, guests started arriving around 4:30! Like last year, each person who
attended received a nice door prize as they arrived. During the
cocktail hour the guests were able to enjoy a number of games that
featured some very nice prizes. Also it gave the participants an
opportunity to bid on the silent auction items, purchase chances on the
Chinese raffle items, and wonder around the raffle tables.
A very nice dinner was
served at 7:30, catered by Damon's Restaurant, and featured great BBQ ribs, chicken, and pulled pork, accompanied by
roasted potatoes, rolls and butter, and coleslaw. There was
plenty to eat and no one should have went home hungry.

Once dinner was
finished, everyone waited anxiously to see if they would go home with a great prize. The
prizes were given out, beginning with the silent auctions
and Chinese raffle items intermixed with blitz raffles and the
prizes from the big raffle tables.
When it was finished, over
30 guns, a Honda ATV, and many thousands of
dollars in hunting, fishing, and camping equipment were given away.
