Open Basketball: Open Men's Basketball started on Monday, November 13 at Centennial Middle School. SPECIAL EVENTS Family Turkey Shoot: The 9th Annual Family Turkey Shoot was a success! 145 teams participated in this year's event - our third highest total to date! 22 volunteers helped at the event this year. They came to us from Forest Lake Senior High School National Honor Society, Centennial High School National Honor Society, ntennial High School Student Council and Centennial Middle School. Despite the small number of volunteers pared to other years, they did a fantastic job! They were hard working, friendly and very motivated. For next year's event, we may have to think about a special addition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event - maybe a cake for refreshments or some strolling entertainment like a balloon artist.
