Eastwood Men’s Raccoon Hunt 2012

Posted on 17. Feb, 2012 by in Events

If you had any doubt that you lived in The South, let’s erase it with our next Men’s Fellowship event. The Men of Eastwood are planning a Raccoon Hunt!

In the first of (Lord willing) many, Matt Phillips is hosting a ‘Coon Hunt at his family land in Wetumpka on Friday, February 24, 2012, from 6 PM to about 10 PM. Those who know coon hunting know that the dogs are the stars, and the Phillips have arranged for some Grade A coon dogs to come in from Mississippi.

Here’s a quick video that will hopefully answer a lot of your questions:

If you have any questions, please call the church at (334) 272-3103 or email Matt at mattphillips@knology . net.

You won’t need a gun, but wear clothes that can stand up to some mud, woods, and fun. Bring your own chairs, etc, and plan on a bonfire and great fellowship.

We hope to count you among those that attend the “First Ever ‘Coon Hunt!”
