we had a table at the Minnesota Homeschoolers Alliance - response was positive

also Constitution Fest - don't know if you've got one in Wisconsin

DPMS  Outbreak Omega and SHTF-2, prepper/zombie shoots - again, don't know if you've got any, but I do know that you have 3-gun shoots, try getting a lane at one and running the shooters thru a free  greencoat challenge, over 170 and we gave them a free old/grey T-shirt, most shooters scored below 100 out of 250 possible   we gave away 5 T-shirts out of 200-300 shooters

Bob Pucci will give RWVA a free table at all his gun shows, check  bobandrocco.com, as he runs other shows as well

we tried getting the Venture Scouts to buy in, so far, no luck here

4-H was responsive at the MN  state meet in Fairmont, we've made contact w/ the director and the 2 shooting coordinators    We've held a shoot for 4-H at Redwood Falls

it seems high schools are bringing back shooting/rifle teams in MN, maybe try to find some in WI?

Activate Lodi Health & Safety Fair

Nov 10, 2012  9am - 12pm

Lodi, WI @ the middle school

Here's the e-mail I just received today:

QuoteAlso I'm to ask if you think Project Appleseed would like a table at the Activate Lodi Health, Safety Fair on November 10.  It's free, at the Middle school from 9-12. Let me know what you find out :)

I will be in Green Bay that day with the Boy Scouts and would not be able to man the table. 

Do we have someone else willing?

This is great. Let's keep this thread with ideas and then separate threads with each specific event or even the promo events in each month that we can sign up for. In other words, don't post here if you can go, you can either wait for the thread or PM LV, dfly and myself letting us know.

Thanks!

We could have a "float" or dress up in period costume.  Hand out tri folds and some other "promo" item - magnets, pens, frisbees, squeeze balls, flippy flyers, t-shirts to select few, playing cards to others and of course, candy

Nicolet Rifle Club is hosting a Gun Show at Stadium View Bar and Grill in Green Bay.  We are donating a table for Appleseed and need someone to staff it.  Rick was going to ask if MaverickAR6 is available??   I am working that weekend.
