Hundreds went out to Three Lakes for the 8th Annual Shoot Out and Fly-in Races

THREE LAKES - Hundreds of people grabbed their friends and their boats for the 8th Annual Three Lakes Shoot Out and Fly-In Race Saturday afternoon. The popular event is hosted every year by the Three Lakes Fire Department.

"The purpose has always been to benefit our fire department which is all volunteer," said Event Chairman Jim Leatzow. "We started with the primary purpose to build a second fire house, which is now accomplished. Now we're equipping it and helping other fire departments in the area as well."

Racers came anywhere from Texas to Canada and New York just to be a part of the two day event. The goal for racers was to have the fastest time from a standing start in 1,000 feet.
