Thank you Chris, and welcome!!

So Day 1 is in the can as it were. Things started off with a bit of rain to make the warm morning nice and muggy - but if that's your thing you'd have been disappointed since they kicked the AC on as the show started, cooling it off and pulling the humidity out of the air nicely.

The weather likely accounted for the better than expected attendance in the morning. It took a while for the show floor to fill up, but it wasn't "packed so you couldn't make it through the aisles" busy like it can get in the winter. Still, we saw a steady flow of traffic at the table after the first 45 minutes or so and had a lot of good conversations and were able to educate a number of folks. I talked to several people who were interested in getting their CHL and had questions, and many more who had theirs and wanted to know about other aspects.

Thanks to chris448535 I was able to get out and look around the show floor, and as usual there weren't many deals to be found. If you knew what you wanted, and knew what prices were like from your LGS or online, you might have been able to talk your way into some deals. I managed to pick up some parts for my Ruger 10/22s at a slightly better price than I could elsewhere by doing that, for example.

After chris448535 left at 2:00 things died off quickly and by 4:00 it was mostly exhibitors left with just a handful of attendees. I heard the weather got nicer, which probably didn't help.

All in all, it was a good show. We talked to a lot of people, met some members, took some membership applications and collected some donations. The one thing missing I suppose was that there were no Tesla Button incidents. That can be both good and bad, I suppose - it can sure be entertaining from the outside looking in, but if you happen to be the one dealing with them it is a different story...

A huge thanks to Justashooter, and chris448535, for being there on Saturday!

The show are generally pretty slow in the summertime, but hopefully we can see some more smiling faces behind the table as the shows start to pick back up in the fall.
