Members of Crossroads Community Church, 8501 Claussville Road, Fogelsville, sponsored a wild game dinner Jan. 29.
At one time, the building purchased by the church, was home to the Seipstown Grange.
The menu included a variety of wild game meat including venison, wild boar, turkey, goose, pheasant and duck.
Both appetizers and the main meal included most of these meats.
Many of the church members brought their deer head mounts, skeletal heads and complete animal mounts to show their skill at hunting.
Many of the animals were harvested with bow and arrow revealing a high level of skill and expertise on the part of the hunter.
