2025 Hunter’s Ball, Cornwall Ontario
On January 25th , John Locke from Fence Depot & More and his team organized and hosted the 30th annual Hunters Ball, at the Civic Complex in Cornwall Ontario. The annual event marks the end of another years Big Buck Contest and brings hunters together from around the area. There were prizes, games and many big winners.
According to attendee John Grow from Prestige Evaluation. Professional Appraiser who specializes in the appraisal of personal property including firearms, estimated that there was close to 700 attendees. Among the notable guests at the event was local MP Eric Duncan as well as Greg Weiss & Gord Lamoureux from the CCFR (Canadian Coalition for Firearm Right). Mr. Weiss addressed the crowd of proud hunters about the importance of protecting Canadians right to own firearms.
Glenn Booth from Anything Goes Pawn, MC’d the event and was interviewed this past Monday by the Cornwall SEEKER on their Motivational Monday podcast to talk about the event and how it has evolved over the years. You can click HERE to see the full podcast. According to Mr. Booth the event started 30 years ago with about 50 local hunters and has just kept growing every year since. This year the event received support from a tourism fund as well as having 130 sponsors who donated gifts and prizes. Everyone who attended got a prize and a chance to win a Yamaha 4x4.
A wild game spaghetti supper with Cesar salad was served along with a vegitarian option. Much of the meat was donated by hunters and processed by Seaway Valley Meat Cutting School. There was even cake for desert.
All left over food was donated to a local charity Centre 105 in Cornwall.
This is an event that promotes responsible hunting while bringing local communities together for fun.
