News Release

ETNA GREEN — The annual Shrine Turkey Shoot will be Oct. 14-15 at Beeson’s Gun Range, 8994 W. CR 25S, Etna Green.

Over the years, thousands of local sportsmen and their families have supported the Kosciusko County Shrine Club in raising thousands of dollars to support its multiple missions for Kosciusko County, according to a news release from the Kosciusko County Shrine Club.

The Kosciusko County Shrine Club, celebrating 80-plus years, is known for the annual trip for third-graders to attend the “Shrine Circus,” with over 70,000 students since 1957 taken free of charge, stated the release.

The club supports many other local and national philanthropic organizations and firmly realizes, “No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child.” On average, the county has more than 125 patients treated by the Shrine Hospitals regardless of their ability to pay.

The turkey shoot is a way for the community to support the local Kosciusko County Shrine Club and its philanthropic mission. The public is welcome. Bring the family for food, fellowship and Indiana fall fun to support the Kosciusko Shrine Club.

Shoot a paper target. Bring your own gun or the club can provide one. Shells are provided. Shoot for Maple Leaf Farms duck and Serenade Foods products, turkeys from Walmart, cash or other prizes.

Children 12 and under shoot a .410 free of charge to win a youth .410 shotgun donated by Two Bear Arms of Etna Green. The winner will be determined Oct. 15. A raffle for a Henry H001 .22 caliber rifle donated by McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapel is available.

Participants may come for the shoot or a sportsman’s “silent auction.” Many of the local merchants who are sponsoring this event are committed to the community and the Mizpah Shrine Temple’s philanthropic mission to provide health care for local children, the release states.

The local Shrine Club members look forward to seeing old and new friends and thank everyone in advance for coming out to support their mission. Donations for the silent auction are still being accepted and are appreciated by the local children and their families that the Shrine Club serves.

For donation information, call 574-527-5351 or 574-269-9865.
