The event is open to all youth, age 17 and younger, who must be accompanied by an adult. Hunter Education certification is not required. Volunteers specializing in their field of expertise will closely supervise youth at each station.

In addition to the free shooting opportunities and lunch, several door prizes, guns, fishing tackle and other outdoor equipment will be given away.  Mark this day on your calendar and join in on a great day of outdoor fun.
