The great success of the
annual Wild Game Dinner,
sponsored by the Fred-
ericksburg Heritage Fed-
eration, is attributed to the
generosity of so many,
many folks, from mer-
chants, those who attend,
to volunteer workers, and
to those who donate wild
game.
WILD GAME
This year is no excep-
tion, and as in the past, the
wild game has been in the
deep freeze at the Fred-
ericksburg Lockers, cour-
tesy Wayne Edwards.
As in the past, various
hunters have donated their
game for the dinner, most
of it through Earl Schwett-
mann, taxidermist.
Schwettmann asks the
sportsmen for the meat
when they bring in their
trophies for mounting.
They oblige generously.
Schwettmann, more fre-
quently than not, then do-
nates his time, energy and
expertise in skinning the
animal and putting it in
plastic bags for storage.
This year, he has ob-
tained seven mouflon
sheep, two black buck
antelope, and three jave-
lina for the dinner, which
will be prepared by a
competent gourmet cater-
er.
Other wild game has
also been donated and
stored. Among those who
so generously contributed
squirrel, ducks, coon and
other animals to past Wild
Game Dinners are Ewald
Segner and Edwin “Dox-
ie” Schumann.
The 600 men attending
Wild Game Dinner
the function March 15,
starting at 6:30 p.m. at the
Exhibition Hall at the
Gillespie County Fair
Grounds, will relish
with zest the bar-
becue mouflon, javelina
tamales, steamboat roast,
fish chowder, catfish fil-
lets, copper pennies, Ger-
man fries, green salad,
French garlic bread, cof-
fee, tea and homemade
cake.
The donated coon will be
barbecued and on the long
hors d’oeuvres table, along
with shrimp, turkey fries,
and barbecue sausage.
The hors d’oeuvre table
will also hold the delect-
able sausage made from
white tail deer, donated by
Rev. Msgr. Erwin A.
Juraschek, now pastor of
Nativity Blessed Virgin
Mary Church, Rt. 1, Box
20, Cestohowa, Texas.
Msgr. Juraschek, who
launched and led the Wild
Game Dinner project, has
annually donated deer to
be made by Fredericks-
burg Lockers into his
famous Juraschek sausage
for the dinners. Needless
to say, he always attends.
