Shotguns & Stilettos


Shotguns and Stilettos is a multi-day celebration of shopping, shooting and socializing.  The two weekends of fun include the Spring Fling Shopping Market, Girls’ Night out Preview Party, Ladies’ Luncheon, Children’s Event, Clay Shoot and the Buckshot Bash.  Remember, this event is the only major fundraiser for The Junior League of Midland, Inc.

Girls’ Night Out Preview Party kicks off the fundraising weekend.  Attendees will have the first shot at the merchandise from our vendors plus light appetizers and cocktails, of course. Every ticket holder will receive a shopping bag which allows free entry into the market for the weekend.  The Market will be held at the new Horseshoe Pavilion on March 19th from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm.

Spring Fling Shopping Market hours are Friday March 20th and Saturday March 21st from 10:00 am – 6:30 pm and Sunday March 22nd from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm at the Horseshoe Pavilion.  Come shop for your home, family and friends all in one place.

The Ladies’ Luncheon will be a great time to get away with your friends for an enjoyable lunch and an afternoon of shopping.  We are hosting the fantastic Jill Conner Browne, the Sweet Potato Queen from Jackson, MS.  Multiple #1 New York Times® Bestselling Author, Jill Conner Browne, THE Sweet Potato Queen™, has created a global phenomenon—almost 6,400 chapter groups in 37 countries—based upon her philosophy and world-view as recounted through her rollicking, raucous, and riotously funny essays. Women and smart men understand that the bawdy, sassy, down-to-earth humor is simply the vehicle by which the greater message is conveyed—that is, one of self-reliance and empowerment, inspiring all to do what makes their hearts sing. Todd Brown’s Catering is providing a delicious lunch, cocktails and dessert.  The lunch will be held at the Horseshoe Pavilion on Friday March 20th from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm.

The ever popular Bunny Brunch Children’s Event will be on Saturday March 21st from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm at the Horseshoe Pavilion.  Again this year we will have the Easter Bunny for pictures, a petting zoo, a magic show by Harlin, balloon animals, Greenie the Clown will be face painting, plus a full meal for parents and the kiddos catered by Chef Michael.

Clay Shoot will be at Jake’s Clays again on Friday, March 27th.  There are two shooting flights, the morning flight at 9:00 am and the afternoon flight goes off at 1:00 pm.  Join us for breakfast at 8:30 am before the shoot.  Lunch will be provided at 11:30 am while we announce the winners of the door prizes.  As always, one in eight shooters will win a fantastic prize.

You will not want to miss John Michael Montgomery performing at the Buckshot Bash on Saturday March 28th! The silent and live auctions are packed full of fantastic items and wonderful trips.  Don Strange of San Antonio is catering a delicious meal, offering beef tenderloin or mesquite grilled chicken.  Come relax and enjoy a memorable concert all while supporting our community projects.  Doors will open at 6:00 pm.
