2016 Wild Game Cookout

2016 Plant City Rotary Wild Game Cookout

The Plant City Rotary Club held its 42nd annual Wild Game Cookout on Friday April 1st. This is one of our club's major fund raisers for the year. (The other is the Dancing With The Locals event.) Residents from Plant City and surrounding areas turned out for an evening of good food, fellowship and bluegrass music.

In addition there were lots of door prizes, raffles and auction items. Many area businesses help make this event a huge success by donating items. The Florida Strawberry Festival also played a large role this year (and for the last several years) by allowing us to hold the event at their facility. Mother nature cooperated this year providing great weather. Of course the event would not be possible without the hard work of our club members. This event stands up to the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self." The funds raised at this fundraiser allow us to fund many efforts that give back to the local community. We were recently able to contribute $25,000.00 to the South Florida Baptist Hospital to help equip their new ICU because of these events. We would like to offer a special thanks to all those who purchased tickets and attended this event.
