AAR Gun Show Saratoga March 17 / 18, 2012

[R1SGx2]

Saturday's crew: Smurf / Notatoga (Jaime who is not yet an Orange Hat) and Dakota 30
Sunday's crew: Smurf / Notatoga / Gregch44
As usual, Team was a pleasure to watch in motion. 2 and a half tables, half table at exit door to catch people leaving with AR Girl and hand outs.
Had flyers for all of the New York shoots, learned and noted that a lot of show goes are from Vermont, will have flyers next time for Vermont shoots. Several from Rutland area both days, pointed to Proctor or Lake George for them to check.
Buzzworth did a fly by Saturday and dipped his wings.
Smurf, his first outting in an orange hat did a great job, show goers walking by one would think he was a fisherman, reeling them in, presented himself very well.
Over all, we set out to do our mission, and was done very well.
Attendance was down at the show from January, but show was full with vendors.
Reserved table for August 25, 26 at next show in Saratoga.

It was a very good event. I worked with a fantastic staff. A super opportunity to introduce the Appleseed message to a diverse age group of interested shooters. A lot of interest in attending an Appleseed by parents with their children and also by grandparents with their grandchildren. Everyone seemed very open to hear the Appleseed message. Many experienced Applseeders also were there. A great group of people. R1sgx2 did a super job of setting up the event with one hand tied behind his back (or tied in his sling as per doctors orders)!!!! His posters, banners, pictures and fliers were well displayed. His stories so very well received!!! A well run event that will have many new Appleseeders. GOOD JOB!!!

Great job folks!!  The last show up there was remarkably well attended, but there is no doubt the presenters did a great job.

Busy weekend for the NY crew.  We have a hard working cadre, keeping up high quality in doing all that needs to be done to save our great country.

A great job by all! Good job, Smurf, on your first time out as an Orange Hat!
Even with the attendence down, I'm sure the vendors were 7th stepped also!

The 1st Sgt. stays on top of the Saratoga Gun Shows and we see the fruit of his efforts at each event we hold in the Saratoga/Capital Region of NY.  Thank you Mark!

And thank you to the rest of the work detail as well - many hands make light work.
