I was in VA all weekend for a horse event, so will miss the event this year. Stay dry!
On my way. I'll probably be running a little late, so I'll try and find some of you guys when I get there.
Hopefully I can get a live stream going, if somebody wants to post it here or start another thread for it.

but the people are nice, it is kind of a tradition now and i really liked walking around inside,
was nice to attend metcalfe's final rally. see scavello before he retires and hopefully see brown's office before she moves into scavello's.
That might have been me..i was late and met another member in the garage.
Today was bittersweet. I was happy to have finally made it to one of these, but the turnout was disheartening. I wanted to stick around and meet some of you but had to rush back home.
Pretty disheartening attendance, but there's always opportunity to turn things around. I think, for next year, other social media sites beyond facebook need to be pushed. There is a massive number of PA gun owners on instagram, especially young ones, who had absolutely no idea. The outreach for these events needs to be expanded, massively.
Example:

Read the comments:
"I'd have taken off if i knew about it more than two weeks in advance. "
"I didn*t even know this was going on."
If we want these events to be more than park picnics, we need to have a PR gameplan. I will gladly assist. I am no PR expert, but I am more than willing to message folks around instagram and other sites to get the word out.
Yeah, FOAC dropped the ball on.promoting this one. So did we, I know I did more in past years too. All of us can do more and do better.
Someone pointed out today that PAFOA didn't even have a banner up this year...
