Held at the Narooma Sports and Leisure Centre on the June long weekend, the SSAA NSW HuntFest, as it is now known, has evolved into a complete outdoor show.
Organiser and South Coast Hunters Club president Dan Field said interest in exhibiting had been stronger than ever.
“We opened the bookings last month and within eight days all but one or two of the stalls had been booked out,” Mr Field said. “It looks like it’s going to the best one yet.”
South Coast Hunters Club also continues to return profits to the community, having made more than $10,000 in donations over the last 20 years and $7500 of that over the last five years from HuntFest.
Mr Field said the latest donation of $250 went to the Batemans Bay PCYC and it hoped that this year a similar donation can be made to the Narooma PCYC.
Last year’s HuntFest saw 2500 people through the gates, many from outside the area. Regular attractions at the show include an air rifle range, archery range, butchery demonstrations, blacksmithing, and displays on 4WD and camping.
