Kobach’s office is holding Ad Astra Archery Tournament with the state Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism on April 25. The registration fee is $10 and participants can register online at www.sos.ks.gov/archery .

The competition is open to students in kindergarten through the 12th grade. Each participant will receive a T-shirt and a medal.

The event is named after the 20-foot-tall bronze statue of a Kanza Indian named “Ad Astra” on top of the Kansas Capitol dome.

Organizers also asked in a new release for donations for scholarships for young Kansas archers interested in attending the National Archery in the Schools championship this fall in Louisville, Kentucky.
