How heavy was the foot traffic for the show in general ?  Do they (you) expect same numbers tomorrow ?

I thought it was much busier than normal for this particular show.  Up until mid afternoon it was busy enough that it was sometimes hard to get up to the tables to look at anything.  I'm guessing things will be a little slower tomorrow.

We ended the show with 81 raffle tickets sold and $85 in donations.

I want to thank members Wildgoose,  GSD, and Bkoenig for the long hours they put in to support the NFOA and the Lincoln Izaak Walton league.

If Lincoln area members want to buy tickets FTF  they can contact GSD or DanW , and they are still for sale online

Even more important than the raffle tickets, we passed out a ton of brochures and talked to hundreds of people abiut the NFOA.  I'm hoping we get quite a few new members out of this.

I was there all weekend, but never was able to make it around. We were BUSY.... I sold the most holsters ever at a show, and that was just on Sat. Sun was just as good.

Anyway, glad you guys were there, and hopefully we get some new members out of it!

BTW, my wife did the tv interview on channel 8 Sat.... How did she do?

I would agree.  Sunday was much slower.
