If you're in the vicinity of the area, have young children, and you (or they) would like to start building up basic understanding, skill, and safety of firearms, please consider attending the event. Also if they are already shooting or even competing, please let others fill the spot as this is a free, but limited participations event.
The event should last until just after lunchtime. Hotdogs, hamburgers, etc to go around. Each participant will shoot five rounds at clay targets with a shotgun, 10 rounds with a .22 rimfire, 10 rounds with a .30 carbine, 2 rounds with a blackpowder rifle, and 5 shots on the archery range.
IMHO, this is the best way to preserve the 2nd Amendment: By educating the youth on marksmanship as a safe, challenging, and fun activity, as well as the responsiblity and respect that come with it.

“a great way to introduce our young people to the challenging and
rewarding lifetime sport of shooting”
