Title: Sandwich Sportsman's Sale Promo
Post by: Ewald on April 28, 2011, 11:46:14 AM
The Sandwich Sportsman's Club is having their annual Sportsman's Sale on Sunday, May 22. This isn't your normal gun show. They have a BBQ, raffles, and activities. It is a very family oriented event. The times are 7 AM to 1 PM-ish.

If we want to seventh step at this show, we need to confirm ASAP.  :sos: :sos: :sos:

I am unable to take the lead here. I just booked a booth at a Civil War event the same weekend. Any takers?

Hi Ewald!

I don't want you to think I wasn't trying.  I looked into doing this show but I've already volunteered to run a grill event at our tennis club (I know this sounds sappy - please don't laugh).   I like the sound of your Civil War event better.  Good luck.

Gravy, We expect you to hand out a trifold with every hot dog served at the tennis club.  ;)

All, M1D has taken the lead here so the time crunch is off, but I'm sure he could use a partner. Contact him for details.

Bushwood: Golf/Tennis/Yacht Club = snobs and slobs

Carl:  "Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence, and superior firepower (click). And that's all she wrote."

Considering the size of the venue the turnout was pretty good.  Nice weather for an outdoor event.  It is tricky keeping the promo material on the table in the wind but for the most part I had enough boxes of ammo to hold it down.  I didn't talk to the number of people that I would have at one of the larger events but encountered a good level of interest and was able to have longer conversations than normal.
