Children sell cold drinks and organize a cakewalk and a fish pond. It is a way of teaching them responsibility early,'' May said. Turkey shoot, dancing In the afternoon, there is a turkey shoot. It used to be a real turkey shoot, but now it is a target shoot at which the winning team wins a turkey,'' May said. Guests may bring their own guns, or borrow one from the neightbors.
Ammunition is provided.
Skeet shooting and bingo are also part of the afternoon's entertainment. At dusk the dancing starts, and guests and local residents crowd the parish hall to do traditional polkas and schottisches, drink beer, and dance to modern country tunes. Even the children join in. The parish priest said he is watching the frenzied preparation with some amazement. I am helping, but I pretty much let the parishioners organize it.'' said the Rev. Brendan Ashe, pastor of Our Lady of Consolation Catholic Church.
