Well, my in-laws will be here this weekend, but I should be available to help out on Sunday for a couple of hours.  I figure I can help out for a couple of hours, then my father in law can come out when I'm done and we can walk around and see the show together.  What time would you guys need me to help?

Looks like we have Saturday covered, could really use some help on Sunday.

EDIT: Just got our confirmation, we will have a table donated to us.  ;D

the show is open sunday from 9 til 4, so from 9am til whenever would be fine.  I don't have anyone else confirmed (as of now) for sunday. 

Jesse T will be picking up the banner(and applications) when the show is over sunday afternoon.

Sounds good, I'll try to be there right at 9:00.  Do I let the door guys know I'm working the NFOA table?

Come on guys, we need a few more for Sunday.  Don't make me work alone!

I spoke with Ben from AJ Guns in Columbus. They are going to be at the gunshow tomorrow in Lincoln, encouraged them to stop by the table and join NFOA.  Been encouraging them for a while to join, he said they have been on the forum and like what they have been seeing.  He said they will sign up when they get there.  Also, they may have some flyers for an upcoming training that they are putting on in Schuyler on 10/3.

I'm pretty sure I signed up a couple of those guys back at the Grand Island show earlier this year, but we'll make sure their they all get signed up.
 
They seem like good folk.  :)

Excellent!  I'm glad we're going to be well staffed both days.  My wife got a little cranky when I couldn't tell her how long I'd be at the gun show.  I think she's scared I'll come home with a new resident for my fun safe :)

I know we signed them up Rick. They are good guys and treat customers well. Make sure you get to their table early for the ammo.

i was at the gun show early saturday morning.  i almost traded away my yugo ak, but decided against it.  but i had about 5 offers before i could get out of the building.

we were signing up people and getting some good word of mouth (and donations).  i was there for almost 2.5 hours and it was a good turnout during that time.

Yeah, in this area, we are seeing the numbers drop a bit due to the same people going to the same shows over and over.  I still want to sign up every last one!

FYI.... No CW at this one. Walked up to the door today and had to go back and lock it up in the car.
