Youth Fowl Shot Contest

Wells Branch youth are invited to test their basketball skills and maybe win a turkey to take home for Thanksgiving starting at 6p.m. in the Wells Branch MUD Recreation Center. Participants accumulate points by competing in a variety of basketball activities (Free Throw, H.O.R.S.E., 3pt Around the World, and possibly Knockout). Age groups will be split into three groups: 8-10, 11-13, and 14-17. Grand-prize winners from each age group will receive a turkey. Participants must have a valid recreation tag to enter the gym and compete in the contest. Registration is free and will begin early November in the Rec. Center.

ESD #2 will be hosting a food drive beginning November 15 and running through December 20.  Please bring canned goods and non-perishables by the fire station at 15300 Bratton Lane.  All proceeds will be donated to Immanuel Lutheran Church Food Bank, which serves the area.

If you have any questions, please contact Lt. Tim Wallace at 512.251.2801 ext. 4530 or twallace@pflugervillefire.com
