Also sent it to WKOW 27, Wisc-TV 3, NBC 15, to Tim Scott(WIBA 1310, and WTSO 1070). Tried Rex Charger, but the email no longer works.

Press Release sent to Lodi & Poynette too.  Haven't seen it actually in the paper yet though

Has been on front page of Wingunclub.org for past month 
During the month of september 112 people clicked on the link for more information.

Problem I'm running into is youth gun deer hunt is the same weekend.  Should think of changing weekends next year to avoid this.  Otherwise, had a lot of interest to attend but disappointment in the scheduled weekend.
