Opportunity to return thanks to  Hazelwood Cabela's Store for their support of our Local Shoots.

"The parents and kids are out, the parents and kids are out"


and are descending on Cabela's for the Family Outdoor Adventure Day June 8 2013 from 9am to 3pm.  We need AS volunteers to man the waiver booth for the Daisy BB Gun™ shoot. 

Who: PROJECT APPLESEED®  Volunteers who do not have an AS event planned and would like to spend a little piece of their weekend saving our Country.

We are also going to focus on telling the stories of Patriotic Young Children (PYC)'s -  Short 2 - 5 minute stories told by young APPLESEED™  volunteers specifically about the sacrifices/contributions made by children during the Revolutionary War!  So far we have RiflesNReins, KDCat and GooseGun - but we could certainly use more with such a large planned crowd.

What: Cabela's Family Outdoor Adventure Day
                       Specifically : Daisy BB Gun Range™  *

                      "Take Pride, It's A Daisy! Visit our inflatable BB Gun Range.
                        We will teach gun safety rules and marksmanship skills."

                                                                               ***Note***
Project Appleseed®  Volunteers will not be instructing the above. Cable's supports our "Mission" and asked for our assistance near the Waiver Booth.  This gives us the opportunity to speak with the Parents about our program while they are waiting for their turn to shoot.

It was also suggested we give 2-5 minute Histories about children during the Revolutionary War.

They are asking for our help!   :sos:


Turn out last Fall was in the mid-2000 range over a 2 day period.

Where: Hazelwood, Missouri :  Map available at link below  **

When: Saturday :  June 8th, 2013   :  9:00am - 3:00pm 


Why: We all know why - this is just the nature of what we do.


There will also be many other events for your Family to participate in. Brush off the Colorful Caps, shake the wrinkles out of the AS shirts, and come help return the assistance Cabela's has been showing us in the Midwest!

I notified the instructors in the surrounding area. Hope some of them can make it.

Pete -  Yes. It is Saturday.

Please try to bring along any fliers you have for Missouri Weekends for the rest of the year.  Cabela's will be providing additional copies of our flier,  but we see this as an opportunity to promote the AS program in both states.

Thanks for stepping up

I see it starts at 9:00 do we need to get there early to help set up? I just received my orange hat last weekend and got all the manual printed today. I skimmed through it and didn't see the children section. Could you please point me in right direction? :sos:

I'll be putting out a few minute stories early next week.

This is new territory for all of us. 

Plan is to meet about 8:30 am.

Hi all and thank you for Volunteering.  The 7 young Patriot blurbs will be in your boxes by about 10 am. These were researched by young Appleseed Instructors for data.

The event last year at Cabela's was sort of like a "musical jam session".  Everyone knew the same notes (History Places and People), but played the notes a little free form.  That way a story about Suki Hart could be told to 10 year old Girl or her Mother while they waited in line with it being something they could each relate to.

I am looking forward to meeting each of you and seeing some of you again.


Mutti

(P.s. If you don't rcv them by 10 am your contact data could be off, so you might want to check)

I suggest at the latest 8:30 am - This Cabela's has very good parking and is attached to a large shopping Mall. We will be there @ 8 am and most likely will be bring a Brown Bess / Daniel Morgan Shingle, Musket ball. Etc.  If you have any of those types of items that you do not mind using to engage the Crowd it would be most welcome. Modern rifles not so much.

If you are bringing your Family remember a camera as the World Wild Life Center is bringing Raptors, there is an archery session, etc.  Don't want to miss the chance for our young ones to have their own "meet and greet".

I'll be there early, let me know what I can do. Dress code? Orange hat?


Looking forward to seeing the Sabo clan. KD cat are you bringing water?
Why do they call him Body Bag?

Well, you know how; "friends help you move, real friends help you move the bodies"? He always brings a bag... just in case! John Abbott

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

RAIN: An atmospheric phenomenon induced by the scheduling and holding of an Appleseed shoot.

WIND: See above.

Dress Code: Appleseed Shirts and Shoot Like a Girl     RWVA hats.  ;)   

KD Cat is never without water - she learned well from Mrs. Sarah.

We are very excited about this opportunity to return the favor to Laura of Cabela's. If anyone has information on the Missouri Shoots we can hand out - please bring that along.

Any questions, please let us know.

Thank you all for stepping up. We'll have 9 - 10 individuals representing Project Appleseed and that is something to  ^:)^   about.
