Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance members were looking for a way to socialize together.
What's better than shooting clays?
The organization held its second annual tournament Friday, March 4, at Ancient Oak Gun Club. After lunch catered by Gecko's, 44 shooters competed around the course. Conditioned Air sponsored the event.
"We're finding out members want more interactive events, to get to know each other," said Executive Director Heather Kasten. "It's a great time to spend with your buddies."
