The 17th annual Stan Wagner Memorial Game Feed has been postponed.

It was originally scheduled to be held Nov. 14 in the Livestock Barn at the Fallon County Fairgrounds, but the recent spike in COVID-19 cases prompted the decision to reschedule to a future date, according to organizer Wendy Wagner.

The game feed had recently gotten approval from the Fallon County Health Department, as long as masking and social distancing was maintained, but the increase in the number of cases in the county prompted the change.

There will still be an online drawing, Wagner said. “We have two drawings and we are going to be doing them live on Facebook the night of the Nov. 14. The Game Feed will be at a later date,” she said.

“It will all depend on the number of local COVID-19 cases after January,” Wagner explained.

“The Wild Game Feed is not canceled but due to the recent rise of COVID-19 in our community, we are deciding to postpone the event to a later date. We hate to have to do this but we think it is what’s best right now,” it was announced on the Fackebook page for the game feed.

“If you’re wanting to get in to the Weatherby raffle or the Big Ticket raffle, you can contact one of the board members or through Facebook messenger,” the announcement stressed.

Only 250 tickets will be sold for the Big raffle, and are $100 per ticket, with a limit of one per person. People wanting to purchase a ticket can contact Jake or Wendy Wagner, Jim Reetz, Darick Gorder, Justin or Andrea Koenigsfeld, Rita Nemitz, Norton Walker or Devon Banister.

Among the big raffle prizes are a 2020 Polaris 500 Ranger ATV Side by Side, a $3,000 gift certificate to Guns N Things, a John Wayne Commemorative 32-40 Winchester and a Commemorative Legendary Frontiersman 38-55 Winchester.

The Weatherby raffle tickets are one for $25 and five for $100.

In addition, people can look for updates on the status of the Stanley Wagner Memorial Wild Game Feed event on its Facebook page, she said.
