The Andover Fish and Game Club (AF&G) is holding its annual Beef Barbecue on Saturday, August 24, from 5 to 6:30 PM at the Proctor Academy Field House. A Chinese Auction follows the meal, and Deer Pool tickets can be purchased during the event. Tickets can also be purchased for a Mossberg 20-gauge over/under shotgun, which will be raffled off at the AF&G Turkey Raffle in October.

The Beef Barbecue, as the AF&G’s biggest fundraiser of the year, provides funds for the two kids’ fishing derbies and to send kids to the Barry Conservation Camp, which provides education in hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor skills.

The highlight of the meal includes juicy beef cooked by Murray Smith, fresh corn on the cob, and strawberries and ice cream for dessert. There will also be homemade side dishes provided by Club members and their spouses, who also prepare and serve the food during the event.

Chinese auction items, which include hunting and fishing paraphernalia, crafts, gift certificates, and much more, are donated by local businesses and individuals. The AF&G thanks everyone for their contributions.

For just $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 12 years old, come and enjoy a great meal and good company, and help the Andover Fish and Game Club raise money to put on events that give local kids a fun way to learn about the great outdoors.
