ALBANY, GA. --

After a day in the woods, quail hunters took time to enjoy dinner and music at the Albany Civic Center.

Leah Seawright entertained guests as they ate.

Quail Unlimited Celebrity Quail Hunt attendees also had a chance to participate in a live auction.

Some of the items up for bid included two prints commissioned by the Queen of England for her Diamond Jubilee.

“We just got the prints in recently. This is the first time they've been presented at any banquet anywhere in the United States. She asked that they only be donated to humanitarian and wildlife conservation or charities,” said James Partee Jr., artist.

Each print is one of only 200 created.
