Le Mars Sportsman’s Club donates to Rock Valley Gun Club
The Le Mars Sportsman’s Club announced last week that they’ve donated $500 to the Rock Valley Gun Club. The gun club suffered losses and damage after flooding in June of 2024.
Proceeds raised came from the Northwest Iowa Zone Shoot held at the Le Mars Sportsman’s Club back in June of 2025. The shoot was originally supposed to be held at the Rock Valley Gun Club, but due to circumstances the Sportsman’s Club hosted the event and split the profits with Rock Valley.
