Pulling Together for a Cleaner East Texas: 11th Annual Clay Shoot Fundraiser Returns This August

Date:

Lufkin, TX — Out here in Texas Forest Country, we know that keeping our communities beautiful takes more than just a few good intentions—it takes people who show up, roll up their sleeves, and get involved. That’s exactly the spirit behind the 11th Annual Clay Shoot Fundraiser, hosted by Angelina Beautiful/Clean, happening Saturday, August 9, 2025, at The Pines Sporting Clays in Lufkin.

From the crack of the first shotgun blast to the final round of prize giveaways, this isn’t just another East Texas event—it’s a celebration of everything that makes our region strong: good people, great food, healthy competition, and a shared commitment to keeping Angelina County beautiful.

Participants can expect a full day of fun beginning at 8:00 AM, including:

  • Live music and games that bring out the smiles
  • Tasty bites and cold drinks to fuel the fun
  • Prize drawings and raffles worth showing up for
  • And most importantly—100 targets to test your aim

Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just coming out to cheer on a team, this event welcomes everyone with open arms. And every dollar raised goes straight back into the community, funding litter prevention, environmental education, and beautification projects in the schools, parks, and neighborhoods we call home.

“We love this event because it blends two of our favorite things: the outdoors and community pride,” said Heather Eoff, Executive Director of Angelina Beautiful/Clean. “When folks come out to shoot, they’re also helping teach our kids to care for the Earth and keeping our streets, rivers, and forests clean.”

From sponsors and volunteers to friends just stopping by for the barbecue, the clay shoot has become a summer staple. If you’ve never been, now’s the year to join in.
