NEGAUNEE — Plans have been completed for the eighth annual turkey shoot to be conducted tomorrow by the Negaunee Rod and Gun club at the club’s rifle range north of the Maas mine. Prospects of fair weather lead promoters of the annual shooting event to predict that it will be well attended by club members and others from Negaunee and riflemen from other cities in Marquette County. There were a large number of outside nimrods in attendance at the “shoot” a year ago, many of them winning turkeys. Shooting at the range will commence tomorrow morning as early as possible. Members of the special turkey shoot committee will be on the ground early to take care of the first arrivals. Club officers declared yesterday that the event is open to all riflemen. Contestants may use their own rifles providing they are not equipped with telescopic sights.
