The purpose of Kevin’s annual Game Fair is to share our love of the outdoors with the community, to benefit the heritage of our city, and support the preservation of the Longleaf Pine Forest and Bobwhite Quail Habitat of Thomasville, GA and surrounding areas. Please join us in November for a day of shooting Kevin’s Finest Guns and Purdey’s of London Guns (clay targets only), dog demonstrations, wagon tours, Tall Timbers research lectures, and a cocktail party in the famous Kevin’s Gun Room. As we observe Veteran’s Day, we will be spotlighting Kevin’s Partnership with the Navy SEAL Foundation along with guest celebrity SEAL members. This event is sponsored by Kevin’s, James Purdey and Sons of London, LandLeader, and High Adventure Company.
