(Seguin) — It’s all about the horns and celebrating the great outdoors these next two days. The 39th Annual Buck Fever event returns today to the Seguin Events Complex.
Buck Fever President Rodney Bargfrede says things kick off bright and early today with the collection of horns from 7 to 11 a.m.
“We will have the Whitetail Horn entry. There are 14 different categories. There’s a high fence category and a low fence category, archery, rifle and exotics and youth and women so it’s split up. There are a lot of categories and chances for people to win when they bring their horns in. It’s a $20 entry fee for adults and youth are free (16 and under are free),” said Bargfrede.
Bargfrede says today also marks Kids Night at Buck Fever. He says all kids 18 and under get in free. He says today also includes a fun filled schedule of activities.
“Tonight is going to be our Kids Night which all children will be free and then we are going to have a scavenger hunt for them and there will also be a wildlife presentation Sky Kings Falconry. They are going to have a falcon presentation. That is going to be at 7 p.m. We will also have the exhibitor booths, pellet gun shoot, fishing tank and excotic petting zoo and there will be food trucks and then also of course, we will be selling tickets for our 30 gun raffle and we will also be selling tickets for the bucket raffle,” said Bargfrede.
Thursday will also include another night full of events. Bargfrede says a handful of food trucks will also be on hand to help families sit down for dinner.
“Thursday is when we will be presenting all of the awards for our horns contest. We will also be drawing all the raffles on Thursday. We will have a lot of exhibitor booths and there will be food trucks, and ya’ll can come down have a meal and spend an evening at Buck Fever,” said Bargfrede.
Bargfrede says he encourages everyone to come out tonight or both nights. He says you don’t have to be a hunter or an outdoorsman to enjoy the event. He says they are especially excited about this year’s featured entertainment dubbed, “Night of Fire.”
“It’s a live fire demo. It’s going to be both Wednesday and Thursday and they will be grilling meats over a live fire and from what I understand, it’s going to be quite a show. It’s going to be something to see,” said Bargfrede.
Buck Fever proceeds support the youth of Guadalupe County. This includes a variety of outdoor education, Buck Fever scholarships, and other Guadalupe County youth related programs.
Buck Fever will be held today (Wednesday) from 5:30 to 9 p.m. and Thursday from 5:30 to 10 p.m.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Kids six and under are free. There is no cost today (Wednesday) for children who show their student ID. A complete listing of events can be found at www.buckfever.org.
