The Newton County Recreation Commission is hosting a youth turkey shoot from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday at the Turner Lake Complex.

There will be three different age groups: 6-8, 9-10 and 11-12. The winner of the game will receive a frozen turkey.

The Turner Lake Complex is the ideal place for such an event, since it offers both the beauty and serenity of a park.
