Michigan Gun Owners will be there for the first time and will need workers for the booth.

Location

Lansing Center
333 E. Michigan Ave
Lansing, MI 48933

Dates and times are
Friday, February 18, 2011 (Family Night) - 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Saturday, February 19, 2011 - 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Sunday, February 20, 2011 - 9:00 AM to 4:00 PMFor those that have never been....


Talk to exhibitors the easiest and longest?
Friday is best, because attendance is lightest that day. There won't be any crowding, so you will have a better chance to talk with more exhibitors and talk longer with each one, examine new products in more depth, etc.
Sunday is your second-best choice, because it has a middling attendance and no crowding.
On the other hand, Saturday has the most hours. But it also has the highest attendance, by far.See the most deer in the trophy contest & display?


1st -- Sunday Entries from Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Remember, however, that trophy contest entries are released at 3:00 p.m.

2nd -- Saturday Entries from Friday and Saturday. The later in the day you attend, the more trophies you’ll see.

3rd -- Friday Usually 30%-35% of all entries come in on Friday, so you'll see a great display, especially if you stay until all entries have been scored and placed on display boards.




Least crowding?


1st -- Friday Simply because that day sees the lowest attendance.

2nd -- Sunday Because that's the mid-range attendance.

3rd -- Saturday Because that's the highest attendance, by quite a bit. On an hourly basis in any given day, crowding is least, or non-existent, early in the day and late in the day. Mid-day always is most crowded, no matter what day it is.

Need at least two members for each time slot. Those working the last shift on Sunday will help break down the booth.

Any non-member willing to work "two shifts" will have their membership paid by me.

Does the show start at 2pm or is that setup time for us? Should someone be there before 2pm Friday to set up?

I'll check my schedule and see what I can do.

We'll have to coordinate the pass pick with the people doing the set up on Friday. More on that as we get closer to the show date.

MGO Booth is on 7th avenue west side. Worker passes are available in the Exhibitor Room in the lobby of the Lansing Center. We are booth 707 and 709. Parking is 5.00 here but there may be cheaper lots tomorrow and Sunday. We do not get parking passes just free worker admission.

Awesome day. THANK YOU for the booth help. You two were awesome. Glad you made it safely home with the weather.

21 full petitions. CODY HARRIS won the .22 rounds guessing game.

The Trailer and all contents are back safely at the Buckner Farm and I tucked into a motel since the wife ran into a bunch of ice at home and it took me almost 2.5 hours to get from Lansing to Howell.

Had a great time, and was glad to help out MGO. Only bad part was that we left at 4:30 and I didnt get to work till 10pm, the drive back was horrible.
