Hello Chamber Members,
We appreciate your support in our work on behalf of the business community. It is through your investment in us and your work on Chamber committees that we progress.
Beyond your membership investment, our budget is built through fundraisers like our Annual Celebration and our Golf Tournament. This year, we are adding an additional fundraiser - the
Chamber Steel Challenge competition, presented by
Bluegrass Hearing Clinic. We hope you will join us for a morning of friendly competition, food, and fun. It will be held the May 6. (Yes, it's Derby Day but you will be done before the race!)
Volunteers are needed to help with many aspects of the day, including scoring. Please contact Paula at 859-236-2361, ext. 121 if you can help.
A steel challenge is shooting competition where you shoot steel targets. There will be 5 stations of 5 steel targets that each participant will shoot. Each participant will shoot 2 rounds per target. You will have 2 attempts at each stage, and we will count the best score from each. Scoring is based on both speed and accuracy. The goal is to hit each target twice, as quickly as possible.
Each participant will be shooting .22 caliber weapons. You will need to bring a .22 pistol that holds at least 10 rounds, 100 rounds of ammunition, and a case for your weapon. We will have ammunition available for sale if you need it. We will have the small foam earplugs available for our shooters, but if you have your own hearing and eye protection, you should bring that as well. Sunglasses and prescription glasses are acceptable forms of eye-pro. For the safety of all participants, each weapon will need to be in a case when you are not shooting and moving from station to station.
When it is your turn to shoot, there will be a table at the station for you to safely uncase your weapon and get ready to shoot.
To enhance the fun and competition of the shoot, you will be going through the stations with a 4-man team. Your team cost is $200 which will include a continental breakfast, a box lunch, a t-shirt, and entry into the competition. While each individual will be scored separately, your team score will be the one in the rankings.
To see all the additional information on the Shoot, please click on the information in the box below for Frequently Asked Questions and the Registration form. Thank you to our other sponsors: Danville Eye Center, Paps Foods, Blue Moon Insurance Agency, The Spine Center,
Bob Allen Motor Mall; State Farm Insurance - Bob Miller, Agent; Tye Financial
Group; and Doss & Horky.
We hope you will field a team and join us for our fundraiser that underwrites our budget and allows us to continue serving our businesses and community.
Sincerely,
