Belleville IL Gun Show August 28-29, 2010

[Missouri Brigade]

Appleseed is once again going to work the Belleville show on August 28-29, 2010.  This show has great attendance and is close to the important St. Louis metro area and downstate Illinois.  There are new shoots in McClean, Clinton, and Marion that we need to fill up as well as the record shattering 300 shoot at Waterman on September 11-12.

I have noticed several new forum members in recent months.  Please strongly consider helping out at this show so that you can take the seventh step and share what was lit in your hearts and minds at the shoots you were at.  All you need is a little time and a willingness to talk with others about your positive experiences.

Patriot Gal, Castle Mountain, and I will coordinate the sign up for the show.  Please send a PM if you can help on that weekend.

Hello Missouri Brigade,

I tried to send you a PM but kept getting an error. ??
I can help on Sunday 29th at this show. What time do you want me there? Will I have to pay the entrance fee?

Wooldl, PM has been replied to.  You do not have to pay the entrance fee.  I will call next week.

Thanks to mikaldulee, wooldl, and mtbrass who worked the shoot.  Thanks also to Patriot Gal, Castle Mountain, and OutaAmmo who provided the display and materials.

I think show went well and we talked to some good folks.  There are a couple ranges in Missouri and a couple in Illinois that I would like to approach.  I'll likely be approaching some of you for help with this.

Larry Morse, a respected NRA instructor who is helping with the Marion, IL shoot, stopped by and said good things about our table and promotion effort which was great to hear.

It was good working the table and chattin with you Missouri Brigade. It was also encouraging to see the interest in Appleseed by those in attendance at the show.

I have sent an email to Town & Country Gun Club in Maryville, IL, where I am a member, to schedule a time to discuss the possibility of hosting an Appleseed. I have not heard back but will keep you posted.
