CRESTVIEW — The Kiwanis Club of Crestview, the Mike Josey Memorial Sporting Clay Tournament and the Building Industry Association present the third annual Kiwanis Charity Sporting Clay Tournament. Event proceeds will be used to build a playground at the John B. McMahon Environmental Center in Crestview and support other Kiwanis projects.
Registration, breakfast and warm-ups are at 8 a.m. April 28 at Shoal River Sporting Clays and Shooting Center, 3985 U.S. Highway 90 E, Crestview. Practice shots will be available for purchase. The tournament's shotgun start is 9 a.m.
Cost is $125 per person or $500 per team, which includes ammunition for 12- or 20-gauge shells (participants with different gauges must provide their own shells), clays, breakfast, lunch by Samuel's Roadhouse, a T-shirt, and a goody bag.
Karen Donaldson, one of the events organizers, said participants may contact her in advance to reserve a golf cart for the tournament. Cost is $100 each.
Tournament activities include raffles, according to Donaldson.
"We're raffling off three guns in a drawing the day of the event, and we also have an auction table where people can enter a raffle to win various items, such as knives and gift baskets," she said.
