BIG BUCK CLASSIC !!! This could be big for us!!
« on: November 15, 2009, 09:44:27 AM »
                                                            The
                          Nebraska Big Buck Classic

                                        http://www.nebraskabigbuckclassic.com/      


The NFOA will be participating in the 2010 Nebraska Big Buck Classic in Omaha on Jan. 29th, 30th and 31st.
 This is a great opportunity for us to increase our membership along with getting more hunters involved and active in the defense of the Second Amendment. Last year the Big Buck Classic brought 6,000 people through the door. This year they are hoping for up to 10,000.
 To make this event be all it can be we need dedicated volunteers who are willing to really get  after it. We will be in need of at least 4 per day.
 I wish to thank Jason Schendt from Big Bucks for the support he is giving us. We are getting a good deal from them.

 Please contact me either via the forum or by phone for volunteer information.

 Let's make this event our biggest ever.
Thanks
Rich

Hey Rich, if you need to get a hold of me- 402.469.6498  Count me in to help!  I urge other members to step-up and advance our cause towards gun ownership and freedom!

Thanks Rich!

Thanks for getting this organized Rich, count me in. I can vouch for a few people who are go getters, Glock 1 is one of them.

More than 4 per day would be great, I think up to 6 or 7 volunteers working the table, selling raffle tickets, signing up members and discussing the ways anti-gun groups are going after lead ammo and closing public hunting areas, along with stopping support for CRP acres, would be great things to have members doing. Hunters need to realize gun grabbers won't stop with semi autos and handguns, they want hunting rifles (calling them sniper rifles), muzzle loaders (using the explosive materials argument) and every other form or means of self defense (including knives) banned.

I'm in for one of the days...

Anyone else??


We're going to need at least 12-15 total volunteers for this guys.

Are you still needing volunteers?  I was planning on taking the kids after school on Friday, anyway. I'll have to check with them, but I don't think they'd mind   ;) If help is still needed contact me at loveroffords2@yahoo.com  Thanks

 It looks like we have enough volunteers to take care of all 3 days of Big Bucks.

Thanks to everyone who stepped up and volunteered. I will be contacting you soon with the details.

Some situations have changed and we now need more volunteers for each of the 3 days of this event, Fri, Sat, and Sunday.  If any more volunteers drop out we may have to cancel this event.

If anyone not already signed up can help out for a few hours this coming weekend, please post here and also send me an email at:  FarmerRick.NFOA@gmail.com


Thanks.

If you guys can believe it, I have to back out on this one. I was going to help Friday, but my son will be going for his 100th career victory in wrestling at Ainsworth on Saturday. This is an milestone  that few get to achieve. He is a senior this year, and my only blood son. This is one of a very few events that I deem more important than promoting the NFOA. I have a 200 mile trip to Omaha from my house, and a 150 mile trip to Ainsworth, where he also wrestles on Friday night.  I feel bad that I committed to this and now have to step away, but family comes first.
