Pig hunt is serious fun

 
boar winners(copy)The second annual Boar Hunt fundraiser for the Point Curtis Cruising Club August 10-11 attracted sponsorship of almost $6,000 in prizes and product, and over one hundred adult entries, well up on last year.

While the tough guys went pig hunting, the kids were chasing good prizes for the biggest eel, snapper and possum.

Kids had free entry and though no records were kept, this would have swelled numbers considerably as did the snapper contest which was a new addition to the format.
 
junior winners(copy3)A big vote of thanks was awarded to organiser Vic Birkenhead who put in many long hours chasing sponsorship, and though a 
de
dicated pig hunter himself, was too busy to get amongst them on the day, but was rewarded by the success of the competition.


Plenty of food, beverages and music at Three Furlongs Hotel was a fitting finale to a big weekend.
 
Cruising Club Commodore, Wayne Leslie, offers a huge thanks to the hotel and all sponsors who contributed to the event.
