Hunter Palooza ²⁰¹⁰

Hunter Palooza began in 2008 as a way for a small group of hunters to get together one evening during the hunting season, enjoy some hunting talk, good music, and raise a little money for a good cause.

In 3 short weeks it went from a small gathering of hunters to a full blown event with multiple gun raffles, tons of door prizes, 50-50 raffles, a band and being fully catered by Outback Steakhouse. What started as just a gathering of some local hunters at a local bar one evening blew into something much bigger than we had planned very quickly.

In the end we had donations from nearly every local restaurant, including Texas Road House, Outback, Apple Bees and even Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Giant and Wawa stepped in and donated gift cards. Fred's Sports donated an H&R Ultra Slug Gun and FNH Arms donated a .40 cal Pistol. Motor Mouth Sounds made donations, along with many others from the local community.

Our small evening ended up with over 400 people through the front door that night and together as a local hunting community we raised $3,600. That money was donated to the Southern Maryland Chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry.

2009 is a new year and this year we have a little more time to plan and we are making plans to take Hunter Palooza to a whole new level. Stay tuned for all the details..!!
