I assume there will be some younger kids spectating the event with their parents. Maybe we could also set up some sort of kid friendly shoot...a low power BB gun and paper targets? I know awhile back I looked into organizing a Pinewood Derby race at the Children's Hospital and soda can sized "gold" trophies were only $1.69 each when buying 20 or more. If a BB gun shoot would be too much, we could build something like this:



I have a target holder/BB trap and would be happy to buy a couple of cheap BB guns if you all think this is a good idea. We'd have to create a small safe area and back stop for this of course if we did it.

Bump, I took the time off. Even if i dont shoot at anything it will be good for my kids and respectful firearms training and sounds like alot of fun am bringing the whole family and planning on having some good times and meeting folks that tell tall tales over some milk and cookies, while I drink wine of course ;)

Random bullet drawing? have a box with just a hole in the top big enough to put your hand inside, and inside the box have a bunch of used brass with the ends painted different colors.  Each color would represent the amount they would have to pay for the ticket.
Example
Red = Free
Blue = $1
Black = $5
Green = $10

Or a USPSA Dart throw?  Take a USPSA target, set it up at whatever distance and have each zone represent a different number of tickets, 1 dart for $2, 3 darts for $5 or 8 for $10?

That way anyone can participate since it's not based on anything physical (other than throwing a dart lol)

I was hoping to make it, but now I'm not sure if I can.  If there are still spots available towards the end of April I'll know for sure then.

The bug out bag raffle is an excellent idea.  You might get vendors to contribute items for it at no cost, or at a reduced cost if you call and ask. 

They're selling 300 tickets for the shoot, so expect at least 300 shooters, plus volunteers, staff, spectators, etc.

Ok, I haven't weighed in here for awhile.   Looks like we have several members that are able to assist in Setup and operating the booth.

We have some good ideas presented for raffle and drawing ideas.  Of course we will need to do recruiting and have literature on hand for discussion of key legislative topics.

Nick is putting some ideas together for a banner.  I'll grab the file from him and publish that for feedback

Do we have a member in or around Grand Island with an enclosed trailer we could use for this event?  I could tow from Omaha or Lincoln if necessary but it would be ideal to find a nice trailer already near the event.

I was offering assistance if needed but I do not have an enclosed trailer. I do have a open trailer with side boards and if the primary purpose of `covered` was to keep items dry, then we could always use a tarp.
Just send a PM if I can be of any assistance.

Someone mentioned a bb gun idea.  Anyone have airsoft guns we could use?  Can Airsoft pop balloons?

I'll be heading out late Friday afternoon and be at our booth all day Saturday. Remember to wear your NFOA t-shirt if you have one!

Ive not been following because of the fact I know I'll get wrapped up on the planning and not be able to say no.;). That being said I do have a few bb guns and some air soft pistol. And. Rod, I still have that trap I built for the women's expo...

I'd like to, but I'll likely be busy.  If for some reason I'm able to make it out, I'll stop by and see if you need any help...

So how did this event turn out? I wanted to attend but had to work on-call and cancel my vacation.
