Are the Bob and Rocco shows the ones where we can get a free table????  I would like to get some people to the Green Bay show in January.  I should be able to be there both days, but it would be nice to get some help so that I can wander off and find a treasure or 2... <:)

March 5, 6 & 7 - Waukesha Expo Forum   
Friday 3-8   Saturday 9-5   Sunday 9-3
1000 Northview Road, Waukesha WI 53188


We need someone to get us a table for this show.  I think the only reason we had a good turn out at Racine last year was being at this show.  As of now there are no pre regs for March.

Appleseeders in the South East part of the state,  post your intentions to help here.

I emailed Bob F about a table for this show.  I will follow up if I do not hear back.  Anyone else willing to help work this show?  Thanks JoeZ for stepping up, I know you have a really good reason to beg out O0

Waukesha is full, no tables. This doesn't get us off the hook for promotions.  A lot of the vendors are supportive of AS and will display flyers.  D-Fly and myself are going on Saturday.  Anyone care to go on Fri afternoon and talk to some folks?

There's a Bob-n-Rocco show in Onalaska Sept. 9-10-11, 2010. Is there anybody that's not going to be gone 'seeding' that weekend? There are usually plenty of open tables. If nothing else, someone needs to just drop some stuff onto one of the tables at the entrance. If nobody here will be going, I'll try to find someone that plans to attend.

vmt,

Is it really 9/9-11 (Thurs-Sat) or perhaps 9/10-12 (Fri-Sun)?
I can't do the 300 shoot in IL, and hope to get my MN carry on 9/11, but I am close enough to Onalaska to distribute brochures for Appleseed.

Do ya'll have anyone in Northwest WI???   Mission Covenant Church has a "Hunter's Expo" every year   
  http://missioncovenantchurch.org/?110390 (http://missioncovenantchurch.org/?110390)  where they average something like 2500 people through the doors in a matter of 5 or 6 hours...  could be some VERY good exposure.  I'm working a shoot that weekend so can't make it.  My brother (three) will be there with a booth set up for his body shop, he's currently (I believe) planning to also have AS material there, but if we could get a few Orange/Red hats there to promote it would be good.  Booth/Table space is free from what I understand.

Shh....  Russell, why are you letting them in on our 'top-secret' plan? &)
Why, in this one raid we could acquire all of NW WI in one swift swoop!
They won't even know what hit them.  Think about it; West of Rte. 63, North of I 94 -- Ours!
That's prime hunting grounds to feed our nomadic hoards!
With IL in occupation of the south; and our annexation of the NW; all they'll pretty much have left is Green Bay!
And we even took Farve outta there!  O'ha!
It's all working; just as we planned it!

Step 1.)  Get them to boost our instructor corps. 
Step 2.)  Pretend to trade them Mogget; as a distraction.
Step 3.)  Create WI Riflemen who sympathize with our cause(See MN Rifleman listing)
Step 4.)  Assimilate their instructors. (e.g. Martin, Crash, etc....)
Step 5.)  Squeeze of the NW territory of WI-In progress...
Step 6.)  Follow through with occupation and assimilation.

Muhahahaha!! Muahahahaha!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

All we have to do is keep them naive to our scheme.
So whatever you do; don't cross-post this on the WI gun show thread...

I'm sure this must be your plan.  As I can muster no other reason as to why you would betray your fellow Minnesotans... :-\



I suppose, we must now allow them to take that table next to Three at the MISSION COVENANT CHURCH'S HUNTER EXPO,  with all 2500 spectatorsright before their big multi-shoot weekend, just minutes from Gordon; so that they may promote thier own state.  So much for our Eastern expansion.  We must now fortify the boarder :~ and look to the West ~~:).

Great question Trisha, how about it folks anyone want to go to a gun show. Even for just part of a day.  If we get enough interest we can see about getting a table. The table's have to be manned all weekend.

Trish,

Should this be a working site for people to volunteer to help at a booth in addition to getting one set up.

Lately its been very easy to get tables at gun shows.  Just mention you are Appleseed and if there is any tables not sold, we get to use one.

I also think it would be fun to have non instructors help at these shoots. 
Title: Re: Map of WI 2010 gun shows
Post by: Trisha on November 28, 2010, 12:24:14 AM
Coly, this should definitely be a working site. I would like to hear from people who are able to attend a gun show to help with promotion!! C'mon people where are ya? Appleseed will not succeed with only a few people doing all the work, we need EVERYONE to help out!

Post by: colycat on November 28, 2010, 08:46:17 AM
OK, Baraboo is a go.  Now yoos SE Guys and Gals, how about this shoot,

Dec. 17-18-19, WI, 2010, Waukesha Expo Forum, 1000 Northview Road, Waukesha WI 53188, Fri. 3pm-8pm Sat. 9am-5pm Sun. 9am-3pm, Bob and Rocco, 1111 W. Delavan Dr., Janesville, WI  53546, (608) 752-6677

Bob and his dog Rocco has always given us a table if available.  Just call the number listed above and ask.  These shows are fun if you can work out shifts.  Worse case is all we have is an empty table for a few hrs.  At least our banner and info is still out there.

No tables available at LaCrosse Jan 7-8.   I just listened to the Bob and Rocco message center.

However, there is a gun show at Tomah TP Supper Club on January 7 and 8, and we have a table.   

Now who would be available to man it?

We have a table at the Tomah Gun Show located at the TeePee Supper Club
Fri 3-8
Sat 8-5

Here is the location
http://www.teepeesupperclub.com/

Organized by G & B Gun Show Promotions
608 474-0334
608 474-0335

We need someone to set up before 3:00 p.m. on Friday.  Can you help???
Sounds like Cooper can help on Saturday.

If we cannot get someone to set up before 3 Friday, I'll have to call and cancel the table as we don't want Appleseed to get a bad reputation amongst the gun show organizers for not showing up after having reserved a table.   &)

So if you can set up Fri before 3:00 we really need your help on this one.  @)

(I've got to work Friday/babysit Fri evening, and my daughter is moving Sat. and I need to help her.   So I am not much help at the show this weekend but can supply you with all the stuff.)

AFTERMATH is too busy looking for gainful employment, so I've been drafted to be the evil genius of MN for a brief spell...  and he doesn't realize that La Crescent, MN is actually part of WI.

Now were the heck is the Tomah TP Supper Club?
I only rarely go to Tomah, since I drive to Ft McCoy through Sparta.

Jackie the Rifledog will be wearing her RWVA hoodie, and I might strap her miniature 1911 on her hind end (open carry for WI, of course).

And what the heck are the planned hours for the WI Instructors meeting at boat-hand-building central on Sunday?

Also I have posted a thread on the 2011 gun shows, so please all take a look at that for future events

Here's an update from the Bob and Rocco Gun Show here in La Crosse tonight...

At the Midwest Marksman table (that mpthole was kind enough to allow us to share with him) we had three or four people and a young man interested in the shoot here in March. 

We left the Appleseed materials that vmt provided us with mpthole at his table for tomorrow, and Professor Gun and I will be back on Sunday to help mpthole with his table and to promote the Appleseed cause.

I'd say it was a successful night for it being so slow and empty  O0

IDAR [internal during action report] from the Tomah Gunshow, such as it was:

More AS'ers than attendees it sometimes seemed: vmt193, kmk, KiloGulf and his daughter, and I rolled in after dusk.

Relatively low and older turnout than expected, but handed out materials to at least 6-7 people, one of whom was clearly interesting in attending a shoot.  Most significantly, a SFC Riviera from Ft McCoy came by and informed us that there is a new civilian-accessible shooting range on base that was built this fall under the MWR group.  It has plenty of space, pistol ranges to 50yds, rifle ranges to 200yds and the silly "let's throw things in the air and try to bust 'em" facilities commonly seen in regions of the country where people have more money than sense.  He appears to be assigned to one of the firearm training units on base, but I tried not to be too nosey on a first date.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?  I do know that I can't bring Rifledog, since the exhibit hall has a cooking and beverage area. Thus, there will be no young, trim, attractively clothed, energetic female to draw them to the Appleseed table, but vmt193 and I will do the best we can...
