Cinnamon Creek Wild Game Processing had its grill fired up with the most delicious bites of wild game paired with a cold beer from 3 Nations Brewing Co. and tunes from Ole G music, which made for a magical night at the Beretta Gallery, Dallas on Oct. 2.
Nearly 300 people filled the gallery as they sipped on local Tahwahkaro Whiskey and bid on auction items to help support the mission of the Lone Star Outdoor News Foundation during its ninth year of the Wild Game Supper.
A new hunter thanks the Lone Star Outdoor News Foundation, Kelsey Boes attended the event. Boes went on a quail-hunting trip through the foundation a few years ago. She plans on hunting deer for the first time this month.
“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to go hunting for the first time,” she said. “It was something I’ve wanted to do my entire life and it was one of the best experiences of my life, I decided then and there I would only marry or date a man that hunted. Since that first trip, I’ve had a passion for going out and shooting guns.”
Past foundation hunters Kamille Martin and Kelsy Beauchman also attended.
Larry Weishuhn emceed the annual event which raised a record-breaking $24,500 for the foundation.
“It was amazing seeing people’s generosity for our cause,” Mimi Sams, executive director of the foundation said. “We broke our current record and hope it continues to grow next year. Thank you to our sponsors, donors and attendees who helped create opportunities for people to go hunting and fishing.”
Thanks to Beretta, Cinnamon Creek Wild Game Processing, Graff Motors, Ubathi Global Safaris, and Tahwahkaro Distilling Company for their corporate sponsorships. And to McKenna Quinn, Dallas Safari Club, Norte Hunters, Outdoor Texas Camps, Miron Crosby, Lone Star Ag Credit, Hackberry Rod and Gun, and Paradise Plains for contributing auction items.
The foundation is excited to introduce more people to the outdoors after this year’s event.
