Point Richmond's 2017 'Turkey Shoot' event was a hoot for everyone - as usual

POINT RICHMOND - The annual Point Richmond Turkey Shoot - a parade, music, some short speeches and a reading of a historic (and growing) poem, was a big hit again Thursday.

And, of course, there was the imbibing of either Wild Turkey whiskey or non-alcoholic beverages.
Mayor Tom Butt brought his goats, ukuleles were out in force and several hundred townsfolk turned out to march around the town.
This year's Turkey Shoot also included a 5K walk-run-stroll in the hour or so before things got underway with the parade.
Here a link to a short video of the events.
