THE WOODLANDS, TX – If you’re looking for an alternative to the disgusting, sticky process of carving and gutting pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns this autumn, Montgomery County Meals on Wheels is offering – for the seventh year running – an event that gets twice the job done in a fraction of the time… and for a worthy cause to boot.

Annual clay shooting tournament to raise funds to help feed local, homebound seniors

The 7th Annual Great Pumpkin Shoot is on! On Friday, October 21 from 8 o’clock in the morning until one o’clock that afternoon, members of the public are invited to Able’s Sporting, Inc. at 357 FM 1791 North in Huntsville to take aim and fire at scores of pumpkins. This fun-filled (if not messy) annual event raised funds, resources, and awareness for those in need of Meals on Wheels.

Homebound seniors are in need now more than ever. The waitlist continues to grow as an increasing number of seniors become homebound, fearing exposure to COVID-19, gas prices and more.

“Meals on Wheels has the system in place to deliver critical resources to them, but it’s your support of events like this that keeps the operation running – providing the ingredients needed to craft nutritious, home-cooked meals. We also provide more senior rides than ever for doctors appointments and more,” states the organization’s website.

Registration includes breakfast and lunch, shirt and swag bag, team golf cart, birds, and 12 gauge or 20 gauge ammunition. Adult beverages will be served after the shoot as well.

“We need sponsors like you to make this tournament a success! As a sponsor, you will help offset event expenses so all proceeds can benefit our local, homebound seniors. Your company will be recognized several ways during the event, on social media, on signage, and on our website. At certain levels, you can register a specified number of teams to participate in the tournament at no additional cost. A wide variety of commitment levels are available.”
