Don't give it a second thought, Scott. Believe me, I understand that family needs to come first. Kim and I were hoping to catch up with you at the BBC, but there will be another time I'm sure.

It's been a very successful show, so far.  Thanks to all that have, and are going to help out this weekend.

Special thanks to Rod(RLM5150) for donating the awesome rifle!

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Kim I have no Idea, it was most likely something like isn't it time to go have a smoke?  Great to see you again, you always bring a little extra energy to what we are doing and keep us all working harder.

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.

Scott you missed a good one. But being able to spend time with the family is always better. How did he do?

Scored his 100th win early, won two more and finished first.

Sorry to Rick and all the other volunteers at the Big Buck Classic.  I peaked early Sat am with a temp of 102.3 don't know what I had but got a lot of rest and feeling better.  Sorry I didn't pull my weight on this one.  I';ll make it up somehow to the NFOA.  Thanks!!  Brian

We signed up 345 new members at the Big Buck Classic, and Jason Litchfield won the raffle.  Best of all we had a great time and made some new friends.

Had a great time at the Classic today. Great to meet even more fellow members. I learned a lot again today. It was good to see Sen. Fulton there as well.
Sorry, but the pics I took with my phone did not turnout so well.

So wish we could have been there Sunday to meet Sen Fulton and help out signing up more members but the schedule just would not allow it. Congrats to Jason on winning the Remington Rifle Raffle.....I had so much fun on Saturday.  :D
