Featured entertainment includes Gator Country and Wood B Creations.

A raffle will be held also with prizes including Pontoon Boat, 10 Rifles, Yeti Coolers, Rods & Reels, Hunting Gear, Fishing Gear and Camping Gear.

Tickets to the event can be purchased online at getoutdoorsfest.com.

The festival will be open from noon until 6pm on Friday and from 9am until 5pm on Saturday.

Proceeds from the event go towards the long range goal to eventually build a pavilion, park and boat ramp area somewhere on the Texas side Toledo Bend Lake that is easily accessible to the public to swim, have tournaments, picnics, etc.

The Great East Texas Outdoor Fest is promoting Sabine County and the many things in the area that will entice people and businesses to settle here or make Toledo Bend a vacation destination.
