Once again, the Wenatchee Sportsmen’s Association is hosting an event to help celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day, on August 8th at Gun Club in East Wenatchee. The activities are focused on introducing youth to the enjoyment and conservation of fish and wildlife. Those who attend can visit educational displays and conservation booths. There will be hands-on activities that include rod and reel casting and art and crafts. Youth under the age of 18 who attend with an accompanying adult can shoot firearms, including archery equipment, 20-guage shotguns, 22 caliber and 223 caliber rifles and air rifles for free. This is a great opportunity to receive training, guidance and encouragement from certified hunter education instructors, master hunters and range safety officers. Participants will also learn the importance of hunter safety. Youth attendees will receive door prizes with several safety-related items. There will also be door prize drawings and giveaways donated by local and national businesses, including a guided fishing trip on Lake Chelan. There will be free hot dogs and chips for those who participate in the event. The Wenatchee Sportsmen’s Association is a local organization dedicated to the health and welfare of the area’s fish and wildlife.
