Hello Indiana Shooters!
June has arrived and hopefully everyone has been busy shooting a lot of targets. It’s tough to believe that the 2018 Indiana State Shoot is so close to happening on July 17-22, at our homegrounds, Indiana Gun Club. I know the ITA Board of Directors have had a busy year preparing for the State Shoot. We will have 4 new LED lighted fields for shoot-offs this year! A special thanks goes out to Director Mike Williams for all of his work to make this happen.
Congratulations to our 2018 Indiana Hall of Fame Inductees, Dave Cates and John Fry. Make sure you plan to join us on Friday at the state shoot between events when we honor these gentlemen with their HOF Induction ceremony between events.
I know for certain Roxie Antczak, our ITA Spectator Experience Coordinator, has been busy preparing for our Indiana State shoot! Here is an update from Roxie: “The 2018 Spectator Experience has something for everyone. We’ve added some new events and will keep our Facebook page up to date with all the fabulous fun in store. You can find our link by visiting IndianaTrap.com and clicking on “News/Updates.” Every single day at the Indiana State Shoot will be special! From games, crafts and face-painting on Tuesday; Coffee & Craft and our Welcome Party on Wednesday; Ladies’ Day Out and evening Bunco on Thursday; Paint Party and Kids Crafts on Friday and Cookie Decorating with Sunshine Bakery and a super cool Kids’ Tie Dye activity on Saturday, there’ll be an event to suit all interests. Plus, there’s Bingo with Carol on Friday and Saturday afternoon. We’ve even corralled some great live entertainment for
the Welcome Party and Saturday night’s Chicken dinner! And, we’ll finish out the week with Coffee & Craft on Sunday morning before we head home to start plans for 2019! Don’t forget to enter our Camp Site Decorating Contest for a chance to win a free campsite for next year’s shoot. Thanks to the independent businesses of Fortville and the ITA Board of Directors for their support and generosity in making every event unique. Contact ExperienceITA@yahoo.com for details.”
Don’t forget to join me at the ATA Central Zone shoot, which will once again be at Evansville Gun Club July 27-29. Be sure to check out our newly renovated website, www.indianatrap.com, for all of the registered shoot dates around Indiana.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything or would like to have anything included in this article for Indiana.
