The Wild Game Cookout has always been a big deal, but the 2016 edition may have been bigger than ever.

On Friday, April 1, at the Florida Strawberry Festival's gray parking area, hundreds of people from Plant City and the surrounding area got together for a night of food, fellowship and fundraising. The event, which has been held annually for decades, is open only to men.

Guns, knives, camping gear, cooking equipment and many more items were raffled and auctioned off, and the Rotary Club presented South Florida Baptist Hospital with a check for $25,000.
