The Andover Fish and Game Club (AF&G) is holding its annual Beef Barbecue and Chinese Auction on Saturday, August 22, from 5 to 6:30 PM at the Proctor Academy Field House. We are continuing to make adjustments to the Auction to allow it to run more smoothly and quickly.

Tickets for the Deer Pool and the Annual Gun Raffle can be purchased during the event. The gun will be raffled off at the Turkey Raffle in October. Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase for a beautiful oak gun cabinet handmade by New Hampshire craftsman Bob Wason.

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 time and contributions.

The Beef Barbecue, 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 educates children on hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor skills.

For just $12 for adults and $5 for kids under 12 years old, come and enjoy a great meal, good company, and help the Andover Fish and Game Club raise money for their many community endeavors. For tickets and more information, call 735-5311.
