MGO at the Outdoorama 2013;

At the Suburban Collection Showplace 46100 Grand River Drive Novi, MI 48374 http://www.showspan.com/OUT/Home.aspx

It is that time of the year again to call for volunteers, since many members have worked events for MGO, I will not drag out the post, If you are new to MGO or have not worked a event before and want to volunteer or want more information feel free to pm me with any questions you might have.

A big Thank You to all that helped out last year, all of you did a great job!

New this year from Showspan, booth workers will need to show I.D to be able to pick up their badge at the check in desk

Here is a show plan on where to enter the building and to aid in locating the MGO booth, it is in a new spot this year. 20465

The new booth # is 5361

For those of you that are on the roster, check the op, I have added a map to the booth, it is in a new location this year.

And if you are a first timer there are Directions to the Showplace in Novi.

[Magnum Man]

Looking good Carl!

[SeeTee]

Thanks Magnum Man, a few things yet to do so I will be leaving for the show shortly.

I am looking forward to seeing everybody this weekend, old hands and first timers alike.

And I want to say a big thank you to you and all who have volunteered to work the booth this year! MGO appreciates everybody's time and effort & so do I.

We will have a good time again this year.
And I will see you and your son on Saturday!

[mopedman]

We had a good turn out of people yesterday at Outdoorama. Come on down this weekend a check it out. Lots of cool hunting and fishing stuff. You can also stop our booth and pick up some MGO merchandise.

[right2bear]

No pictures yet?:silly:

Thanks to all the volunteer's, and Special thanks to Carl for making it such a great show!

[CnA]

I'll bring my AR-15 for the table this evening.

[SeeTee]

Great time last night and great to meet tomblair84 and Tedalton thank you both for coming out to support MGO.

A look at the booth after tomblair84 and mopedman set-up the place cards on the dislpay.
I missed getting some pictures of the“Classic” guns we had on table, I try to get them to post later.

Looks great! Myself and the family will be stopping by sometime this weekend.

[SeeTee]

Be sure to introduce yourself, for some reason some members come by but don't say they are and we miss the chance to meet them.
It will be good to meet you and your family!

[RaoulDuke]

You want me to bring guns for the table for my shift this afternoon?

[CnA]

Will anyone on Saturday morning be bringing an AR-15?

Have mine on the table now and it really draws people in.

If you have one, bring it!

[dragonGTR]

Mine isn't freshly oiled and cleaned, but I will bring it. I will try to clean it tonight along with an XD and bring both.

[Garbo]

Booth is in a great spot there on the corner. I noticed people are a lot more passionate this year about their gun rights. more people seemed to walk up wanting to talk this year. Our presence there this year is more important than ever. Other than a few distractions pushing the beer cart back and forth everything went well :)

[RaoulDuke]

Big fan of the cart distractions. Still moderately hypnotized by the magic hose.

[Maranatha]

i saw a guy by 6 of those hoses last Night.... Crazy

[wwjmaj]

Working the NRA booth this afternoon I had several people comment on the MGO booth. Whenever I went to MGO the booth was full of workers and everyone was occupied talking to someone! Really appreciate the effort!

[Magnum Man]

Happy to help. We had a great time.

[XDM 40 cal]

AWESOME!!! Will see you guys sunday...

I'll be bring my AR15 and my Alaskan 454... :flag:

[dragonGTR]

AWESOME!!! Will see you guys sunday...

I'll be bring my AR15 and my Alaskan 454... :flag:

consider a handgun or two as well, the ar-15s and the xd drew people in today. the hunting guns are cool but the ones for self defense are what got people talking.

[RaoulDuke]

Garbo? He was espically intrigued.

[XDM 40 cal]

Or so HD shotgun? and my XDM... And when going into the show did anyone check your Firearms?

[RaoulDuke]

They didn't check the cases I brought. I had a thumb hole stock 870 slug gun and a black 700 on a bipod. People are FAR more interested in the ar style rifles like CnA brought. Sexier goods for sure. Some people were interested in the size difference on the shell casings from the 223 and 30-06.

No one checked mine or my id....

Ok, good to know..:flag:

Yeah too bad we couldn't give the cart some business. Probly would have sent the wrong message tho :silly:

[XDM 40 cal]

Glad to see everyone that was working on Sunday... It was a good lots of good people, few that were not well informend, but over all there was a great time...

[RaoulDuke]

Yeah too bad we couldn't give the cart some business. Probly would have sent the wrong message tho :silly:

I would have been happy to give her... nevermind. Too easy.

[SeeTee]

Reports are done, Outdoorama 2013 is in the books.

I can't say much about the show, in fact I can't talk at all, but I can still type.

Thank you to ALL the Volunteers YOU WERE AWESOME at the SHOW!!!

All of MGO should be proud of the job these members did to represent the Organization this weekend, This is what MGO is about!!

They all did a OUTSTANDING job, It was the best show ever IMHO.

It was a honor for me to work with all of you, A pleasure to meet those I have not met before and great to again see those I have worked with before.

We talked to a lot people of this weekend and passed out a ton of material and had a lot of fun!!

Members brought a wide variety of guns to show the public, from a muzzle loading pistol to a AR-15 pistol both were sweet! and a lot in between, Thanks guy's for bringing them! It did get everybody's attention!

The robot caper was funny! Sam and Tom feed off each other, it might be dangerous to let them get too close together in the booth, kinda like letting 2 radioactive materials get too close and going critical mass!
And I see that there are a few other characters to keep an eye on too ;)J/K !

Thanks again everybody for a job well done!!
You made it a fun show to work, no that's wrong it wasn't work, it was a pleasure because of you.

Please if you worked the show and are not on the activities committee, sign up!

Note; the pictures we ran at the show were used by permission of Oleg Volk and can be found at his web site http://a-human-right.com/ along with much more.

[travisthared]

I appreciate the kind words Carl. It was a dang gone good time. All I need to do is remember to bring the hop candy to the meet, greet & eat.

[SeeTee]

:thumbup: looking forward to it!

[tedalton]

I appreciate the kind words Carl, but in my mind you deserve much of the credit. I got a small idea of all the hard work you put into it.

Thank you for all you do for these things.

I had a great time, and as for the robot thing, it had to be done, I had no control of the situation.
