THIS YEAR'S WINNERS!

The Crockett County Deerfest was created 22 years ago as a community- wide appreciation banquet for hunters.  Typically 1,000 to 1,500 people attend the event.  They are fed a meal of chicken-fried deer, turkey, axis, deer sausage, deer chili, deer tamales and brisket.  Over the years, the Deerfest Association has raised enough money to help fund the construction of the Crockett County Convention Center in which the event is now housed. The Deerfest Association has purchased A/V equipment and put a roof on the community day care center.  The association helped finance the construction of the Crockett County EMS building.  Along with this the Deerfest contributes yearly to the Crockett County 4-H, Knights of Columbus, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Youth Ministry, The Ozona Chamber of Commerce, The Ministerial Alliance, The Crockett County Volunteer Fire Department, The Boy Scouts, The Cub Scouts, The Crockett County Youth & Civic Center, The Ozona Community Center, Perceptor Mu Chi, The Sheffield Boot Camp for boys, and the Crockett County EMS.  Matthew Komechak and Laura Stapper were the recipients of the 2009 Crockett County Deerfest Scholarship in the amount of $1000 each.   Again this year, we will give 10% of our admission proceeds to West Texas Rehab.  After the 2008 event we donated $1,500 to the West Texas Rehab of Ozona.

All monies are raised from the sale of door prize tickets, admission fees and our donors' generous contributions.  Among prizes given away in 2009 were 63 guns, numerous gift certificates, any number of wonderful miscellaneous items and a Polaris Ranger.  This year we will give away over 65 guns, $10,000 in Cabela's gift cards, a 2009 Polaris Ranger and numerous other prizes.
