The Natchitoches Parish Fair hosted its inaugural 4-H BB Gun Shoot Sept. 27. There was a great turnout of 25 participants. The contest was open to 4th-6th graders who are enrolled in 4-H. Contestants had to shoot 20 targets from a distance of 15 feet in the standing position. Since there was such a high level of interest shown in the event, it will now be held each year at the parish fair and will align with the State Fair BB Gun rules.

The only thing is my Grandson Payton Rains actually took 2nd place but was noticed until awards were already giving that they had totaled the score wrong!
