Hundreds attend 29th annual Richmond ‘Turkey Shoot’

Close to 200 people — but no turkeys — showed up Thanksgiving morning at the 29th annual Turkey Shoot in Richmond.

No birds were harmed at the lighthearted event, which was held on Park Place in downtown Point Richmond at 10 a.m. Nov. 22. However, many shots of Wild Turkey bourbon whiskey were consumed, as usual.The decades-old annual Thanksgiving tradition begins with a parade that assembles outside the Richmond Plunge, the town’s 89-year-old public swimming pool.
