Okay, so I've already asked a few if they are interested in attending to pass out fliers, but thought maybe it'd be a good thing to post it on here.  Apparently, Schuetzenfest is a German/Catholic marksmanship festival in Cincinnati, July 20, 21 & 22.  I thought you guys might be interested in attending or spreading the word to a crowd that is possibly very interested in participating in an AS! 

Any thoughts?

Sure you can take a hat, A Blue Hat!  There is still commitment involved!  and a country to save!

Sounds like you are doing great.

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Indiana Appleseed:  Farm Bred, Brass Fed

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and Lord if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

Okay, I chatted with the guy at work... he's on the committee for this event.  Apparently you have to join the Kolping society in order to shoot in the competition... maybe they don't want some outsiders to show them up?   :---

Anyway, it might still be an interesting thing to check out.  I've got a couple brochures to pass out... but I may need some extras!

Huzah!

Well... it seemed like a good idea at the time.   :-\

After arriving, I quickly realized that this was very similar to most Catholic/German festivals I have attended in the past... the main activities were fund raising, or gambling - depending on how you view all that, and drinking beer.  Once I got past all of the "games" that were centered around the fund raising I eventually made it back to the shooting. 

I must have had a very creative imagination about what I expected to see.  But to keep this short, it was not the venue I had expected.  I did not hand out a single flyer.  Hopefully the shirt caught at least one eye...

Because  :pics: , I have attached a few showing the target, the shooting platform and the layout.
