Goshen County 2Shot Goose Hunt canceled

Posted

GOSHEN COUNTY – The 2020 Goshen County 2Shot Goose Hunt has been canceled in the interest of community safety, according to Director Christin Covello. 

“We are disappointed, and it was not an easy decision,” Covello said. “We did our due diligence with canceling the event and are looking to protect our community.”

Restrictions placed upon gatherings by the Goshen County Health Department and the rise in COVID-19 cases caused 2Shot to make the difficult decision to cancel this year’s event. The organization had previously tried to maintain a reduced number of participants to keep the program going while maintaining the safety of those involved but were unable to do so.

Despite the cancelation, Covello said the organization would continue to support the community. They will continue selling pit sponsorships until Dec. 15. Each sponsorship costs $100 and will go to directly benefit the community of Goshen County and the state of Wyoming.

Each year, 2Shot provides funds to support hunter safety education programs throughout the area, sponsors three $1,500 scholarships to Eastern Wyoming College, participates in habitat and aeration projects and helps support Santa’s Helpers. Santa’s Helpers is a community event where families in need can go to the Rendezvous Center at the Goshen County Fairgrounds to receive a full holiday meal, get food and gifts, hats, gloves, candy and much more.

In the past, 2Shot has also provided $25,000 in donations to EWC and provided donations for equipment, training and the other needs of the Torrington Volunteer Fire Department.

“We are not backing down,” Covello said. “COVID is not stopping us from helping the community.”

In addition to the pit sponsorships, 2Shot is planning on holding two raffles sometime after Jan. 15. Covello said the organization would release more on this soon.

As of now, the plan is to raffle a Weatherby Cowpokes Gun. A total of 100 tickets will be sold at $50 apiece. 

The second raffle will be a Wyld Gear cooler filled with a gun, gift cards and “other goodies.” A total of 250 tickets will be sold at $20 apiece for this raffle.

Contact Christin Covello at (307) 575-0864, Wheaton Kremke at (307) 267-7938 or email 2shot at 2shotgoose@gmail.com.

Covello and the rest of the Goshen County 2Shot Goose Hunt would like to extend their appreciation to the pit sponsors and all who have contributed.
