Help OFCC at Canton Gun, Knife & Military Show Jan 7th & 8th

Post by JustaShooter »

I am excited to announce that OFCC will have a presence at the Canton Gun, Knife & Military Show starting the weekend of January 7th & 8th.

The show is held at the Stark County Fairgrounds, from 9:00am to 5:00pm Saturday, and 9:00 to 4:00pm Sunday.

We could use a couple of people each day to help out! It would be nice to have at least one or two other people at the table at all times to help spread the word about OFCC, hand out info, and take donations. That would give us plenty of help to rotate out for restroom & food breaks, as well as time to check out the vendors.

Admission to the show is free with the exhibitor badges that we get from the show management. So, not only do you get in for free, if you volunteer for a morning you can get in before the crowd and check out the vendor tables before the doors open at 9am!

This is a great opportunity to meet & talk to like minded people, meet some of your fellow OFCC members, and help out an organization that has done a lot to improve our gun rights in Ohio.

3FULLMAGS+1 will be the lead for this show so if you would like to volunteer, post in this thread, or send him (or me) a pm to let us know you can help.

See you there!

Just a couple days away from the show, If you are able to make it there be sure to stop by and say hello to the volunteers! Darrel, aka 3FULLMAGS+1, and Walt will be there both days, if you can spare a few minutes to give the guys a break, that would be great!

This is JustanObservation, JustaShooter: It's probably tougher than usual to get show volunteers when they are held the same weekend as Ohio Gun Collector Association meetings.

Nature of the beast.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Understood, Brian. For what it's worth, I don't seem to have much better luck with other dates either, so... :|

BUT, how many forum members up this way that are NOT volunteering this weekend, are going to those meeting???

Hey, it's one of the easiest ways to get involved and OFCC pays for two passes, AND you get in before the public does, with the rest of the vendors. What do people want.......OFCC to "buy them a gun" too?!

Sure, you should have a reasonable amount of knowledge to carry on a discussion w/ show goers, A N D having the "gift of gab" to talk peoples ears off ......sorta like Justashooter :P :lol: .....helps a lot too.......(ya, I'm probably gonna pay for that comment).

......anyway, see ya all there!
