Title: Princeton Gun Show
Post by: Klippefurt on January 31, 2011, 09:07:34 AM
OK, another Princeton Gun Show is history. Pappy and M1D met me there early on Saturday morning to get things set up. Pappy bought much needed handouts to supplement my supply. We had a great turn out Saturday, and we passed out a lot of info to the folks. Pappy returned on Sunday and although Sunday's turn out was not as good as Saturday's, we still had a lot of interest. One couple in particular made our day. As Pappy was explaining the program to the guy, I talked to the woman. Afterwards, she told us, "I am really excited about this program. We have two teenage boys who have been after us to teach them to shoot, but we didn't know of any place to take them. We were unaware that such a program as yours existed. We are going to bring them to an Appleseed this year, and we're all going to shoot together there as a family! It's going to be a lot of fun, and our guys will get some excellent instruction in how to shoot! Thanks guys!" Comments like this just make setting up a gun shows worth the effort! Thanks Pappy and M1D for the help. Next stop is E. Peoria next weekend. See you all there.
