Party preparations

From across the state, and parts beyond, they will descend on Auburn. Some will bring their weapons, and some will bring their signs.

Organizers and opponents of Cayuga County Crows Unlimited 3rd Annual Crow Shoot are preparing for this weekend's festivities, which get under way Friday night with early registration and a bit of partying at J&B Bar and Grill on Orchard Street. The hunt begins Saturday morning and will conclude with weigh-ins and award ceremonies Sunday.

"It should be exciting," said event co-founder Tommy Lennox.
