Title: Lincoln Gun Show, January 24-25, 2015
Post by: gsd on October 19, 2014, 09:50:15 AM: Here's the deal: January show is the big one, it usually fills the pavilion, instead of half like the September show.

I can work it Saturday like usual, and can probably take a day off on Sunday to do it if I have to.

My justification is this: without putting ourselves out there in the public eye, how can we honestly expect our membership numbers to grow? Every show I have been to, I always run into a few people that still do not have any idea what the NFOA is!

Your votes over the next 7 days will tell me whether or not I should pay for a table.

As long as there isn't a blizzard and I have to work, I'll be there on Saturday to help out again again.

Post by: RobertH on October 19, 2014, 11:05:23 AM: I vote yes. Not everyone goes to every gun show every time.

I doubt i can help, but will have to see later.

Post by: FarmerRick on January 17, 2015, 11:42:47 AM: Well, it seems I won't be able to help out after all.

I ended up getting a table to sell off some excess guns & stuff.

Post by: depserv on January 19, 2015, 10:54:07 AM: Anyone who regularly posts here and who has a table at this show should put his NFOA screen name somewhere on his table so those who haven't met him can see the face behind the name. That is providing he hasn't said anything to upset any of us crazies.
