PA Volunteers,
I'd assume most of you are familiar with the Great American Outdoor Show that draws close to 200,000 attendees each year. Several of you have probably even been to the show a time or two. It was suggested a few years back that we get a presence there at future shows but we haven't done so. I truly believe we'll be able to in 2016.
I've been in contact with the NRA Recreation and Youth Sports rep in relation to the NRA Annual Meetings in Nashville. She said she almost called me to help with recruiting volunteers for the Outdoor Show going on right now and would definitely do so for the show in 2016.
As such, I'd say it's time to get a working group together to start talking about how to make this happen next year!

This was mentioned the year the NRA took it over but nothing came of it. There are no Volunteers I know of that are "Close" the Harrisburg.
Hotel space in the area is at a premium even during much smaller events at the Farm Show Complex.
This is a LONG show. The mid week staffing will probably be the hardest to cover.
Are you talking a booth or just being a massive volunteer presence for the NRA? What is the booth cost?
I have friends in the area. I'm in.
