THIS EVENT IS PRESENTED FREE FOR YOUTH BY LOCAL SPORTSMEN GROUPS
Muskegon Area Sportsmen for Youth, will host the 15th Annual Sportsmen for Youth Day on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m at P. J. Hoffmaster State Park.
This event is hosted each year with the cooperation of area sportsmen and women who volunteer to introduce young people to outdoor sports. The park's large beach area parking lot will be converted into an outdoor sports show where young people are given the opportunity to try their hand at archery, shooting sports, fishing and many other outdoor activities.
There will be special live animal programs such as Birds of Prey by the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, Michigan Snakes by Nature Discovery and Michigan Turtles by the Gillette Visitor Center.
Participants under 17 years of age will receive a t-shirt and other souvenirs, a lunch coupon and raffle tickets. Raffle prizes include outdoor equipment and other items.
Overflow parking is being provided by the Muskegon Motor Cycle Hill Climb Association at their Hill Climb location on Lake Harbor Road. A shuttle service will move participants the short distance from the overflow parking area to Hoffmaster State Park.
Hoffmaster State park is located at 6585 Lake Harbor Rd., southwest of Muskegon. There is no fee for this special event, but a Michigan State Parks Motor Vehicle Permit is required to enter the park.
