What a great weekend, over 2000 visitor Saturday and half that on Sunday.
Our team make up was great:
Saturday:
NYS Promotions Coordinator Little Mo, The Mrs., Gregch44, Sureshot, and Jaime (Soon to be orange hat)
Sunday:
NYS Promotions Coordinator Little Mo, The Mrs., Dakota30, Jaime (Still not a orange hat)
A lot of interaction with show goers, was great to watch this team in action.
We had all the flyer's of all the New York Shoots and a lot of addition AS material to hand out.
Was nice to hear people was when asked: "Do you know about Project Appleseed?"
Answered ranged from No to Yes, I asked those that said yes where from, some friends, others articles, and most from gun blogs promoting us. Looks like AS is doing it right.
We are back here at another Gun Show on March 17/18 same weekend as Hudson Falls Appleseed.
Next weekend (Feb 4/5) a team will be at the Gun Show in Albany - and a team will be in Saratoga doing an Appleseed
Thank you team for help making it work.
And Appleseed for saving our Nation.

This was a great show with great people. Both days we had significant interest from the patrons and there were times when we could not keep up with it (each one of us speaking to a different person, and yet someone else taking a look at Mark's great display.
Hats off to Mark. He, with Jamie's help, set up on Friday night. Coordinating efforts of many people with many committments that day, he made sure the show came off beautifully, all this despite being sick!!
Take care of yourself this week Mark.....we need you on the line Saturday!! &)
..Way to go!!.. This is what makes a difference, PERSISTANCE & DEDICATION..
..Thanks to all up in the North Country...........Bless................
....Strength & Honor................Josey Wales....................................
As was previously mentioned, this was a great show with many patrons attending. At 2pm on Saturday, there was still a line in the lobby, out the door, down the stairs, and down to the sidewalk of people waiting to come in, and the show closed at 5pm on Saturday! Many stopped by our table including some previous Appleseeders! One gentleman asked about having his 14 yr old son attend and if he (the father) could observe. He was asked why not attend and be on the line with his son? His face lit up with a grand smile! Several times we had people 2 or 3 deep at our table waiting to talk with us!
A big THANK YOU to Mark (R1SGX2) and Jamie for setting up, to NEACA, to the City Center, and the great crew that staffed the table! O0
