Volunteer Opportunity Scheel's Hunting Expo- Lincoln.
« on: July 09, 2014, 08:55:09 AM »
LADIES and Gents; As of about 5 minutes ago, the NFOA will have a Tent at the Lincoln Scheels Hunting Expo August 16-17th.  I would REALLY like to have some local help with this.   For reps name tags and continuity, someone that could devote at least one of either day would be great.  :D
It will be a simple booth style, passing out brochures, other info, chatting about guns and gun rights with folks. Maybe real time member sign ups.   If you like to shoot the S**t, this gig is for you.
Depending on weather / lighting conditions, (This will be an outdoor thing), I may be running the LASR system for folks to show off their skills, and maybe a contest of sorts for a prize.  The details are still a bit fuzzy at this point.

PM/Email/post here if you are interested in helping out.

Don't forget to dress like a bum or wannabe, and be generally obnoxious.

That weekend is looking kinda dicey for me, but I'll see what I can do. I am thinking about dumping some money on this:

Should the NFOA be interested in borrowing it. The wind may still be a killer though.

I know you are looking for a good looking, well spoken, and highly respected member of the firearms community...but I will be working that weekend.  Sorry.

Well, I have rented an indoor trailer for the NFOA to use LASR in at this event, and I will of course be helping with setup, and will be there intermittently while it is running. Consider the use of the trailer a donation. It is 6x12 with a rear ramp door, so small/light enough to maneuver into position by hand, if they need us to stay on the sidewalk or some such.

What time do I need to be showing up with it? Also, any suggestions on what format for the course of fire? Maybe a simple competition? I'll bring what peripherals I have/can think of, but if someone has some extra long extension cables, that might be handy.

I would suggest bringing the NFOA banners to put on the side of the trailer as well. Anything else that I might have/can get that may be desired? I have one 6' folding table, a couple camping chairs. For signing up members, I have tether data on my phone, and could probably wrangle the use of a tablet. I can also probably get a 10'x10' pop-up shelter for additional space.

Jeremy, feel free to contact me if you want to coordinate this further. Keep in mind I'll be in Fairfax at the end of the month and won't be very easy to get ahold of.

No worries on that. It is the NFOA's event, and for all intents and purposes, the NFOA's trailer. My company is just donating the use of it :)

BTW, it isn't some big stupid looking Uhaul, it is a plain little cargo trailer.

Thanx XDM.

P.S. Anyone happen to have a .223 or .308 bolt action rifle that we could borrow for a couple days?

BUMP To ask again:

 Anybody free to at least help set up Friday night?

No bolt action, sorry, but still good to help out Saturday.  I can probably help set up on Friday, depending on time.  I have to reenter the world of the working teacher, so I wouldn't be available to set up until after 4 at the earliest.  Let me know.

Also Bull, what time do I need to be there on Saturday?
