Blue Trail Range, 316 North Branford Rd. Wallingford , CT 06492 (203)269-3280. Pig roast Saturday, June 5th only. Displays from major firearms manufacturers. Hands on opportunities to shoot famous manufacturer firearms. Car and Truck dealers and displays. Many other outdoor related activities. http://www.ctsportsmen.com/flyerBTRPig10.htm

TOMINCT, I know you're working on Dave Lyman for a future shoot, perhaps this could be a way in?

Thanks for posting these, Fred. Meant to return your call today but got bogged down with work. I'll ring you tomorrow.

As for the BT gig, yep, we should be there. Used to be a much bigger show, but it's still one of the better public firearms-related events in the state. And if it'll help bring Dave L.  to the table, all the better.

OK Nutmeggers - this date is nearing, in the heat of the summer home plans season - so who's gonna step up to help Dan & I?

Your help doesn't just require you to be there with us - it could be helping us with promo materiel, a banner, hand outs, a table/chairs or whatever you can think will help us promote AS.

As for everyday Promo - WE NEED IT!  and we each need to "work" everyone we can to make up for our shortfalls in registration at CT AS's this year, as of today 5/14:

Chaplin 6/19-20 ONLY 22/35
Simsbury 7/10-11 ONLY 9/22
Colebrook 7/31-8/1 ONLY 9/33
Chaplin 8/28-29 are you ready for this 0/35! !@#)

How far is too far to travel to an Appleseed, in a state smaller than many state's counties??? :o

Apparently to some it is too far, that is why we also need help in finding a range in Southern CT - talk to your friends, relatives, co-workers, someone must know someone who's a member at a range on the shoreline!?!?!?! :)
