52 Gun Dinner
Our flagship fundraiser. Dinner, drinks, and 52 chances to win.
About this event
The 52 Gun Dinner is the signature fundraising event of the Exeter Outdoors Association and the evolution of our long running gun draw. Guests enjoy a hosted dinner and social hour while fifty-two quality firearms are awarded through drawings across the evening, followed by a live auction after dinner. It's our largest source of funding for youth education, hunter safety, and conservation work. All ages are welcome, including youth. Tickets are limited and tend to sell out, so early reservations are encouraged.
