Upcoming CA Gun Shows we should attend

[BaldDragn]

For anybody too far south to make the Sacramento gun show, we will also be doing one in Paso Robles on the 15th and 16th. We have table, chairs and everything and it would be nice to have enough people so everybody could get some breaks.

[Antibubba]

If you were afraid that all the time slots were filled up, relax--they're all open!  So contact me now!!   

[Antibubba]

Operators are standing by!

[Antibubba]

Work enough gun shows and the worst will eventually happen.  Yes, I got stuck next to the stun gun vendor.  

Otherwise, it was a really good show--I talked to a lot of men, women, and children about AS.  Lots of trifolds and information was passed out.  Every child was told an abbreviated history, and that we'd teach them to hit that one inch black square.

It was quite busy for such a small show*.  As always, it is difficult to judge how successful it was until these people show up for a shoot.  Another addition to the sign up sheet, after email, should be a "How did you hear about Appleseed?".



It was so small the NRA didn't have a table and no one was selling beef jerky!

The next Ventura McManns show is June 5/6. I will be in England then so is anyone willing to man this show for me. You can borrow my table, flags, banners, trifolds, swats, etc.

Appleseed has been at every Ventura show since we started there so I'd hate to miss one. Anyone?

Cheers

[Dano]

I can be there on Saturday the 5th but not Sunday, we can coordinate tables etc. Maybe I can get them from you at the Ojai Gun Club Meeting. Anyone available for Sunday?

Dano

[LibertyMinded]

I can be there Sunday, but would love some company.


Debbie

[V]

Yea, thanks Dano, Liberty Minded,

Anyone else help out? I've done gun shows single handed a few times, its tough to get natural breaks, food, drink and if one or two people stop by you are swamped...

Even if you can't "man" the show for a day, if you are going to the gun show anyway drop by and help out for a few hours.

Anyone else?

[Antibubba]

Doing a show singlehanded also means you can't have a rifle on the table, and LTRs get a lot of people to stop.

[Cal 7.62]

Got a table booked for the Bakersfield Gunshow June 19-20. 
Moose said he can work the table both days.
I haven't talked to SleepsinProne yet about helping out.  (hopefully he can get us a shoot scheduled before the gunshow)
Anyone else that wants to help out would be more than welcome.
I realize there's FOUR Appleseeds going on that weekend,  (and I'd love to be at one if I could)    but promotions are important too (just not AS exciting.)

Cal out

[Camljr]

Phil,

I will take this for both days. I will coordinate with you to get the banners, flags, and your setup before you go to England.

Call me and let me know when that is....

[Dano]

Let me know what time to be there Cam and I can be there all day Saturday.

Dano

[V]

cam, dano, liberty,

I'm leaving on Friday and won't be back to the 20th. If you folks work out what you want to do about table chairs, who has a car for the table or do you want to get the folding one from Piru, (mine is a 6 foot non-folder), the banner display and flags are easy.

I can drop them round Cam or Dano's place. Sort out who's doing what on transporting stuff there Sat and back on Sun.

[LibertyMinded]

V,

As I won't be there Saturday I will let Cam and Dano work out the tables.

Cam,

What time should I meet you on Sunday? I can be there all day.

Debbie

[Camljr]

I will get the stuff from V, since we live close by. I have a 6 ft. folder table I can use...

I think I can meet anyone at the usual table location outside Bldg 2+3 at the west end. If you go through the gate, and tell the attendant you are working a booth, go to the vendor entrance before 8, you can enter that way no charge. If you wait until much after that, you will be charged, i think...

I will be there both days at 7:30 am. setting up...  I will have MauserSanta there helping out Saturday, too...

 

[bob 210]

OK folks, we have a couple of gun shows coming up in SoCal.

Del Mar July 17-18  (Promote upcoming Escondido Appleseed)
Ontario July 31-Aug 1 (Promote upcoming Azusa, Corona, Glen Helen Appleseeds)
Costa Mesa Aug 28-29 (Promote upcoming Azusa, Corona, Glen Helen Appleseeds)

Who is available to man a table?

[V]

I will be SB in Cedar City UT on 31/1 so if Ontario gun show people could push the Azusa shoot on August 7/8, at Burro Canyon Shooting Park (www.burrocanyon.com), that would be great.

I went to the range today (confirmed again the dates and price). They are giving us two private ranges East One and Two at half price, hence the $10 range fee.

We can shoot 100 yard with about 30 shooters on East One and can put anywhere upto 100 shooters at 25 yards on East Two.

This is our first shoot at this range hence they assume the best and give us both ranges. Quote "if it turns out crappy then next time we'll have to argue over which range you get". The next shoot we have booked here is Oct 23/24.

So put out the word and help us make this a great inaugural shoot for our new hosts. I've dropped off swats/dillons/tri-folds today for them to push.

Cheers
Phil

[Camljr]

I think I can do the Ontario show both days. I will transport what I need there myself.

I need to print up some handouts, though. I will download them from the eventbrite link and get them printed.

Is there a flyer for the new Burro Canyon shoot yet???

[Rocket Man]

I'll be at the West End BBQ on Saturday, but I could come over to Ontario on Sunday.  Let me know what you need, I'll do my best. 

[Camljr]

Anyone who wants to help out while at the Ontario gun show, it would be appreciated.

Bob 210 and Camljr will be there Saturday, and Laylo will help set up Sat. AM.

LayloPro and Rocketman be working the show on Sunday...

We still need others to step up and help out, even if for a few hours, allowing folks to take a break and grab a bite...

Bob 210 asked me to put the call out to see who steps up.... Will it be you???

Thanks in advance to all who can help out on this one....

[bob 210]

Costa Mesa Aug 28-29

[JohnM]

I can go Saturday, but considering my first Appleseed was last weekend will there be anyone there to show me the ropes?

John

[bob 210]

Thanks JohnM! There will be a RedHat at the show, one way or another. I'll send you a pm as the date gets closer.

[bob 210]

OK, so far we have the following folks working the Costa Mesa Gun show this weekend:

Saturday                     Sunday

Camljr                         4posterity
JohnM                         





We need more help folks. Please sign up...this show is 5 days away.

[LayloPro]

As a side note on Costa Mesa, we are also doing a shoot @ Corona that same weekend, so if anyone wants to come down to La Verne, and pick up the "gun show shoot box" (big road case that has about the whole deal for doing gun shows.....) it would be appreciated.
As said, I live in La Verne, and will leave the box handy for whom ever wants to pick it up & bring it back.....
Give me a call @ 909-226-9333
Be well all!!

[bob 210]
