Jake's Day is Saturday, July 20 - all area youth invited! (VIDEO)

The 18th annual Bonanza Valley Royal Strutters Jake's Day, a youth conservation and firearm/archery safety event, will be held on Saturday, July 20 at the Belgrade shooting/sportsmen's range from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Youth and families are welcome to come any time between 10 a.m. and noon, and a FREE lunch will be served at noon with prize giveaways to follow to conclude this enjoyable event. In fact, the entire event is FREE for all kids ages 3 to 17. Fun and games for all ages! This is a result of a long-standing partnership between the BV Royal Strutters and the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Registration starts at 9 a.m., and you can come any time before noon and register and participate in the event before lunch. Stations included: trap shooting, pistol shooting, rifle shooting, BB gun shooting, muzzle loader shooting and archery. Youth can also build wood duck houses and bring home. All kids get a FREE Tshirt, pop, lunch and a door prize! Kids should be accompanies by a parent or guardian. NO guns are allowed in, as guns are supplied for the event under strict supervision of the adult volunteers.

The attached video features Treyson Nemmers, eighth grader at B-B-E high school, taking his turn at the rifle shooting range on the far western edge of the complex.

The phrase "Jake's Day" represents an acronym that stands for "Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship" promoted by the National Wild Turkey Federation. Their website is https://www.nwtf.org.
