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... <:)

colycat says that we get a free table at the Bon and Rocco shows.

Alright, you heard him people! Who will step up and help our State Coordinator...?

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.


Cooper

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  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...

What are the chances he's gonna let you skip that PC 4 and take the IPC anyway?   #)
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 ~~:).

Yeah, you know I'll do just about anything for that red hat!   ;D  Besides, just because they know about the Hunter's Expo, doesn't mean they'll actually get around to sending anyone up that way to staff it.  I mean, no one really lives up in Poplar anyway, right???   ++)

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.

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!

I'm going to look into that one coming up on Dec. 17 and 18 in Baraboo.

If you are able to go to the Baraboo one, I should be able to come on one of those days and I betting a few others should be able to help out as well...

Old Glory!

I can help out one of the days at Baraboo.  How do we get a table?

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.

I have 3 or 4 people right now that have offered to do some table time at the La Crosse gun show Jan. 7-8-9. I've left a message with Bob Pucci to see if we can get a table but so far he hasn't called me back. If anyone happens to run into him at a show, please put a bug in his ear for me.

This sounds great! Thank you so much not only for letting us know, but for getting people to work at Appleseed table.

There will be Appleseed fliers at the Nicolet Rifle Club table at the Bob and Rocco Green Bay gun show December 31st-January 1st.
