4H Shooting Sports Team Live Auction Fundraiser – Sat, 5/16

Good morning all,

The 4H Shooting Sports team Live Auction Fundraiser will be on Saturday, May 16th. Doors open at 5pm and the live auction starts at 6pm. This is a great event that helps our kids in the county be able to learn responsibility and discipline through shooting sports. Kids are the future. All proceeds raised help purchase arrows, ammo, competition fees, and plenty more to keep this program running strong.

In past years, the club has paid for the member’s meal ticket (only the member, not your groups), we will be doing that this year as well.

There is no entry fee to attend the auction fundraiser, but if you want to eat, you have to purchase a meal ticket. I will be sitting at the front tables upon entrance to handle meal tickets. You will need to show your membership card since I do not know all 350 members personally.

Adult Tickets: $10
Child Tickets: $7

We hope to see you there!!!

Thank you,
