After a day of turkey hunting, guests, guides and visitors select food from the buffet at Baker's Barn Thursday night.

The annual Lieutenant Governor's Turkey Hunt in Alva combines fun with business. Representatives of business, industry and government are invited not only to hunt but also to tour the opportunities in the area. Local landowners volunteer their property for hunting and local hunters act as hunting guides for the visitors.

The hunt begins with a dinner on Wednesday followed by a day of hunting on Thursday. Then everyone gathers for another dinner where drawings are held for prizes and hunters get the chance to tell of their experiences in the field. Friday offers the chance for more hunting.

The hunt is coordinated through the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and local people who work to make it a success.

This year's hunt began April 10 and hosted a large number of guests from a wide area. Those attending included:

Janet Black, Anthony Inman and Jeffrey Estes from BNSF Railway

Greg Dewey of Mach Resources

Glen Calvert of Priefert Complex Designs

Mark Faulkenberry of Western Farmers Cooperative (Touchstone Energy)
