Jim Price has graciously donated a table for us again this year.  I will be out there on saturday, but I'm not planning on being there sunday(as of now). and sunday.
Scott Barry will be busy with his own tables there, mainly selling guns and accessories, and I'm sure he'll be signing up a few new members too(if his voice holds out).

Would anyone like to volunteer a few hours of their time to help us out for recruiting new NFOA members?

This is the largest show in Nebraska, Fluff works night security at this one. I will be there as usual. Remember the Four River Sportsmans Club have donated $1 for every member in their club. We need some new faces at the table. Usual attendance is around 3,000 people. Although this show was the first show to sign people up, we only signed up around 100 there. Then we refined our techniques a little bit. This could be and should be a 200 member + show. Most of the usual gunshow crowd has already signed up.

Last spring, NTV news Channel 13 was there doing a spot about the show. I asked them about doing an interview with the NFOA at this event. The reporter said she would do it, we just need to contact them and arrange for it. We need a good spokesman who knows his issues, is at least a board member, hopefully an officer. If someone would like to get our first television interview done, let me know, and I will call the station to schedule the interview at the show. I think it is time.

I would be willing to help out if I have the days free I will have to wait till it gets a little closer. I would also like to do some recruting for you at out money shoot on the 20th if some one would want to meet with me and give the rundown on what to do. Also I will be going to the gun show in Oneill the first weekend of Dec. and didnt know how much recruting has been done in north central NE but would like to try and get some signed up there.

We had a blast working it last year, I'll see what I can do to make it out again this time.

Bumping this back up for all to see.  We could really use some help out at Hastings!! 

Second biggest show of the year.  I don't see why we couldn't sign up well over 200 new members there, with a little help.

Who is from Omaha (or metro area) that is going to this for just one day?  Looking to share a ride out there and help out, either day.

Many members from Omaha. Bump this to the top to see if I can help you get a ride. FarmerRick is driving out saturday morning but staying the night and working the show both days.

Anyone else planning on coming out? It is a 2.5 hour drive, mostly interstate with 20 miles of divided 4 lane highway. Three large rooms full of gun dealers. You will see more dealers and a much better selection of guns at this one show, than driving to 4 or 5 smaller shows in your area.

I even heard that a certain Pink Pistol that AAllen has his heart set on might be at this show.

Now that sounds like a good plan.
