It is official as per the report given to me by Target Communications today, that the recent Deer & Turkey Classic Expos held in the four Midwestern States
of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio report a total of 88,300 people in attendance for those four venues in which Appleseed
hosted a display booth. I do hope we all see some benefit in registration growth for our 2011 shoots this year as a direct result.
I hope all states monitor the source of why the attendees came to an Appleseed shoot so we can have some identifiable marker
certainly for Fred's sake as he graciously funded this opportunity. It will most definitely help in planning for next year.
I know Illinois attendance was down 3000 due to market advertising by Target and them having changed locations from Bloomington to Peoria.
The individual States break down of stats are listed here on the image I have posted.

Good to see the numbers!!! Hope this helps our overall AS registrations for the year.
