“This event was coordinated by Amy Murphy, Potter County 4-H Education Director and would not be possible without the generosity and dedication of all of the 4-H leaders and volunteers that help make it happen,” stated Natalie Aiello, the 4-H Educator for Elk and Cameron counties, and coordinator for the event.
“I am also very proud of all of the youth competitors that take part in this event and also very excited to see the Cameron and Elk County shooters do so well!
