On Saturday, Aug. 16, the Minnesota Elks Association hosted its annual Soccer Shoot at their Youth Camp near Nisswa.

Thirty-one kids from across the state earned their way to this fun-filled, family-focused weekend event by winning their local and district shoots earlier this summer.

In addition to the actual Soccer Shoot event, the participants and their families enjoyed a weekend of swimming, kayaking, mini golf, basketball, hay rides and camp fires.
