Indoor archery kicked off at the Sky Ute Fairgrounds on Wednesday, Feb. 12, bringing the community together for this non-competitive social event. The program features an indoor range with 3D targets ranging from small critters and hay bales to life size elk. Archers of all ages are welcome to practice, volunteer and participate. The program is made possible through a collaboration between: SunUte Community Center, Sky Ute Fairgrounds, and Southern Ute’s Finest Archers. Archery sessions are scheduled throughout the month of March, taking place in the Fairgrounds’ rodeo arena every other Wednesday.
