Pete Margiotta (right) was a huge help in setting up challenging stations for the shooters.

 

All in all, 68 shooters enjoyed the ‘carnival of shooting games’ including lunch and raffle.

     
     
 
     

During Sundays ‘Clays for Kids’ day, CWA provided Outdoor Adventure activities to go along with the great shooting provided by Birds Landing.  Archery is always a crowd favorite.

 

Volunteer George Borba (blue shirt in the foreground) was a tremendous help on the archery station.

     
     
 
     

CWA intern Bill Beckett and CWA youth coordinator Carol Lerner provided waterfowl identification activities for the 85 youths in attendance.

 

Volunteers Robert Franco and Andrea Myrick led the youths through nest-building activities and discussed the CWA Wood Duck program. 

     
     
 
     

A total of 85 youths spent the day enjoying the great facilities at Birds Landing.  Lunch, shooting, archery, decoy painting, and outdoor adventure activities made it a great day for all ages.

 

Many thanks to our hosts from Birds Landing who provided targets, volunteers and their great facility for the weekend.  Great work; Rick Cirillo, Dan Cirillo and Bob Cirillo, and Diane Lofano.
