SIDNEY, Neb. – The Cabela’s Outdoor Fund, that promotes outdoor sporting and recreational activities, has announced that it awarded a $21,000 grant to the Sidney Shooting Park, located in the Sidney Wilderness Area on Greenwood Ave.
The funds will be used to upgrade the current archery range and to create a new “walking course.” Plans for the walking course include 14 targets spread out across the natural contour of the area’s landscape, covering just under one mile. The grant will also fund construction of a shelter with a concrete pad, picnic benches, bow racks, fencing and signage.
Work on these renovations will begin immediately and continue through this summer. Opportunities are available to participate in this development and assist with the construction of the new facility. Local organizations including 4H and the Boy Scouts have already committed to participate in the projects.
