Still time to register for 2022 Labor/United Way Trap Shoot

There’s still time to register for the 2022 Labor/United Way Trap Shoot & BBQ, the major fundraising event for the annual Labor/United Way Campaign.

This year’s event will be held Friday, April 22, from 8 a.m. to noon at Winchester Trap & Skeet Facility, 600 Powder Mill Road, East Alton, Ill. 62024

The barbecue will be held after the shoot at Machinists Lodge 660, 161 N. Shamrock Road, East Alton, IL 62024.

The annual event is supported by the Greater Madison County Federation of Labor, Greater St. Louis Labor Council, Southwestern Illinois Central Labor Council, St. Louis Building & Construction Trades Council and the Southwestern Illinois Building & Construction Trades Council in continuing support for the United Way, which invests more than $1 million each week in our communities by funding 170 agencies that help people in the bi-state area.

ENTRY FEE
The $70 entry fee includes two rounds of trap, plus the barbecue. A long-shot side game will be offered again this year for an additional cost collected at the shoot.

The gun club provides shotguns and ammo; however, you can bring your own shotgun.

• 10 Gauge Sponsor – $1,000 (includes two shooters)
