The Nahant Lions Club will host its Annual Turkey Shoot on November 23rd, the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Entering its fifth decade, “this has been one of our most loved events,” said Tim Bell, President of the Nahant Lions. “We shoot paper targets with BBs. We award turkeys as prizes for the marksman with the highest score in each group of 20 targets.  The cost of a target is a modest $3.00.” For those who want an alternative means to win a turkey we offer the opportunity to buy raffle tickets. Raffles cost $5.00 each or 5 tickets for $20.00. Targets are $3.00 or 4 for $10.00

The turkeys are donated by members of the Lions Club and by local businesses, including a very generous donation from The Tides. We thank all who donate to this cause. We couldn’t do this without you.  The Nahant Lions Club has served the Town of Nahant for 70 years. The funds we raise support the Lions charitable focus on eye research, and in particular the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (https://www.mlerf.com/).

The Turkey Shoot is held at the DPW yard on Flash Road, from 10:00 a.m until 2:00 p.m. There will be warm cider, donuts, hot chocolate and hot dogs. So come down and take a shot for a worthy cause.
