The National Rifle Association Foundation has awarded Pendleton a grant totaling $1,453 to fund the purchase of air pistol and rifle equipment for the local 4-H shooting sports program.
“We are very excited about this opportunity,” said Brooke Alt, Pendleton County’s 4-H extension agent, “and pleased that the NRA is making an investment in our community.”
Each year, Pendleton County 4-H applies for grants through the NRA to help expand their shooting sports program, which is mainly utilized during their annual 4-H camps. In the past, they have supplied the program with archery equipment, including 10 new bows, arrows, targets, and shotgun supplies, including a new shotgun.
“We are very fortunate that the NRA continues to do this program, and support youth nationwide,” said Alt.
