A huge thank‑you to The Hideout for sponsoring the Western Co****le Shootout this weekend. Your support helped make our first year a success, and the feedback from attendees was incredibly positive.

One lucky winner went home with an amazing raffle package that included dinner for four at The Hideout and golf for 4 at Spirit Creek. We are so grateful for your generosity and community spirit.

We’re lucky to have such a wonderful sponsor behind this event, and we’re already excited about the possibility of bringing the Western Co****le Shootout back next year.
