Tickets are still available for the ninth annual wild game supper held by the Wharton County Sheriff's Association.

Some 700 or more people attended last year's event, and big crowds are expected at this year's supper, Thursday night from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Crescent Fairgrounds.

Deputy George Guttenberger, vice president of the association, said the menu contains barbecued and fried wild pork, a variety of venison dishes as well as rabbit, raccoon, alligator, duck, geese and quail.

Chili, gumbo and etouffee will be available for those who don't care for the taste of wild game.

The evening's events also include four raffles, ranging in ticket price from $20 per ticket to $1 each.

"This has been a growing thing over the past years and has really become a good inter-community event for both sides of the river," Guttenberger said.

Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. for a donation of $5 per person.

Tickets are available from any association member or deputy, at the sheriff's office, or at the door.

The suppers began when the nonprofit Sheriff's Association wanted to raise money for scholarships and other youth-related causes. You may contact the sheriff's office at 532- 1550 for more information.
