Bristol youth ages 4-13 years-old partnered with an adult teammate to sink as many foul shots as possible in the 2023 Turkey Shoot competition sponsored by Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services and held at Chippens Middle School on Saturday, Nov. 18.
Over 150 participants, split into 5 divisions based on age, vied for a $25 dollar gift card to Price Chopper to be used to purchase a turkey for Thanksgiving. All participants were awarded a raffle prize, and each youth participant received a 26th Annual Turkey Shoot Basketball Contest t-shirt.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
