THSS August 2017 Match (Hawaiian/Swimsuit Theme)
2017-08-20 08:30 - 14:00
Theme: Hawaiian / Swimsuit
Shooters Meeting: 8:30 am
Cost: $15 for THSS members, $20 for non-members, Free for spectators
Optional: $8 for catered lunch

Since the August match is one of the hottest matches in terms of temperature, it is also the THSS Hawaiian Shoot. The normal cowboy dress code is relaxed. You can wear as much, or as little, Hawaiian theme clothing as you want. The only requirements are that you must wear your hat, boots, and gun leather.
This year, Doc Boedecker came up with the idea to have an Old West Bathing Suit competition, so dress that style if you can. An Internet search for “Victorian Bathing Suit” will help you find just the right striped onesie or bathing costume. Should make for quite a photo!

Anything else goes, Hawaiian print shirts, tank tops, grass skirts, shorts, swimsuit, you get the idea. Come on out and have some fun, the wilder the outfit, the better. Naturally, this is all volunteer, not a requirement. If you want to shoot in your regular cowboy clothing, that is fine, people can do whatever they want.
The match will be Sunday, August 20
