it would be nice to go and just observe and learn from some of you guys, but I won't be able to attend

Need to get an email alert out to the members soon so they can make arrangements.

I have a tentative plan to present the local VFW Honor Guard with new Rifle Cases after the Capital gig and lunch for any one that wants to stick around for that.

how long will we be at the capitol? maybe a members lunch somewhere gun friendly?

Lunch sounds great!

Had thought about meeting up for breakfast, but with an 8 a.m. start, that may be a bit early for those that need to drive a ways to get to Lincoln. Lunch is probably a better option.

Or we could have both as options.

We are pretty open after 11:00 or so. General Session starts at 10:00 a.m that day, so we will probably be recognized in the first hour and then folks can stay and watch or do other stuff.

Maybe folks have ideas for other optional after lunch activities?

Well, Phat Jack's BBQ is up the road a bit- I know he's friendly. and a member here. And we can dare FarmerRick and RobertH into taking the Nacho Challenge!

11th and Cornhusker in the Belmont Plaza.
Which would also be a good place to meet up and park your car and carpool down. Parking can be a pain around the Capital.

(I'm not real sure about downtown. )

I intend to be there. I will try to fill my suburban with some of the local gun culture from the York area if anyone needs a ride.

RobertH · « **Reply #31 on:** January 18, 2014, 06:16:02 AM »

ummm.... Nacho Challenge? might be interesting.

NE Bull · « **Reply #32 on:** January 31, 2014, 12:42:59 PM »

One more addition. I spoke with the nice folks in the tour office and secured us a Official Nebraska State Capitol Tour. It would be at "11 ish " or once we are recognized on the floor. Then we will break for lunch afterward.
For anyone that has never had the "official" tour, there is alot of interesting history in the Capital Building, I've been on 2 and still find it fascinating.

As for Lunch.....
Anyone have any thoughts on were to go? Any ideas of Friendly places downtown? Maybe within a decent walk from the Capital?

C. Berry's has delicious barbecue downtown. It isn't posted, and I've carried there before.

I guess the Carry friendly is mostly mute since we WILL be unarmed in the Capital.

But we might as well support those are not outrightly posted.

What's the dress code? I'll try to be there, if I can make it, a carpool from Cabela's would be great.

FarmerRick · « **Reply #36 on:** February 05, 2014, 06:02:14 PM »

I will be heading there with my Pontiac Vibe. Traveling from the Kennard area, through Elkhorn and Gretna.

I have one passenger so far, and room for 2 more.

If there is more demand, I can borrow the wife's StealthVan that can hold 6+.

Gary has graciously offered his Parking lot for that morning. Along West "O" in front of Gun's To Roses. (Big ol Ford Pick up and two concrete Gorillas) if a few folks want to gather there and carpool downtown. I could pass by there and snag a few folks if needed. Let me know.

NE Bull · « **Reply #38 on:** February 05, 2014, 07:52:47 PM »

I have also secured a tour after our stint in the balcony for anyone interested.

Still researching eateries. And am planning to deliver the VFW's Rifle Cases that afternoon.

unfy · « **Reply #39 on:** February 06, 2014, 02:06:08 PM »

I'd love to attend.

Live in South O (for now...), work in Bellevue, willing to meet somewhere (Gretna etc) safe to leave vehicle parked for few hours we'll be gone.

Still haven't heard about a dress code yet ?
