STOCKTON, Alabama — The Stockton Civic Club will hold its annual Wild Game Cook-Off on Saturday, April 16,  offering up samples of the area’s best wild game as well as dishes routinely served at area hunting and fishing camps.

The event begins at 4 p.m. at the Stockton Community Center in Old School Yard Park on Alabama 59 North.

Cash prizes will be awarded for first and second places, as well as a People's Choice Award.  Cooks interested in registering a cooking team should contact Laurene Harms at 251-689-9920 or Ben Bailey at 251-213-1290.  

A live auction will be held for a wide variety of donated items. Local bakers will provide a tempting assortment of homemade cakes and desserts for purchase in the Bake Sale.  There will also be an antique car show.

Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door on the day of the event or may be purchased from Civic Club Board members or at the North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce in Bay Minette. 

Proceeds of past cook-off events helped build the Stockton Community Center. The building’s grounds also boast a picnic pavilion, cooking shed, a playground, walking track and baseball diamond. Proceeds will be used for continued improvements including new playground equipment.
