Michigan 2006

What is the Event?
The 2006 Michigan Kicking Bear event is two fun-filled days! Friday evening is comprised of supper, fishing, hayrides, games, tug-o-war, videos, camping, fireside stories and maybe a marshmallow roast or two! Saturday will include breakfast, lunch, safety orientation and archery shooting. After a mandatory safety meeting, there will be novelty shoots for the kids-such as shooting at apples on strings, balloon and 3D target shooting and much more. All adults are encouraged to bring children from outside their home, as well as their own children. Each child participating will receive a free t-shirt and hat. Major prizes, such as bows, arrows, targets, etc. will be given away to mentors bringing children from outside their own family. There will also be many other prizes given away at random. All archery equipment is supplied by the Kicking Bear sponsors.
