I hope you didn’t miss the EXPO on August 24th .  But if you did, here’s a recap, by the numbers.

  • 6100 attendees
  • 23% growth over last year
  • 153 vendors with 220 booths
  • 23 seminars, demos, presentations
  • Nearly 500 kids, with nine youth activities
  • A new Women’s zone, with six activities
  • Over 1300 vehicles
  • 208 volunteers (special thanks to Vortex for their volunteer support)
  • 217 shooters, with around 800 clay targets used
  • Over 400 dogs – and no fights!

And an unmeasured number of smiles during a great day!

 

 

 

 

 

This would not have been possible without our sponsors.

And next year — two days!  Friday August 22nd  and Saturday the 23rd – it’s not too early to mark your calendars!
