Announcement: Fega@ogca

[BrianPowley]

If anyone is interested in being a part of this show, contact Joe Rundell or myself.
The Ohio Gun Collectors Association is the largest private gun association in the U.S.A. with over 16,000 members.
These shows are always a huge draw and they have money to spend.

 

[BrianPowley]

For those interested, the Days Inn has rooms right now for $59.00 + tax a night and it's where I'm booked for the OGCA show in October.

 

[BrianPowley]

Just got my latest edition of the Ohio Gun Collectors circular and they are heavily promoting our planned attendance (FEGA & ACGG) at the October meeting.
Contact Joe Rundell or me.

They should be able to come up with a lot of new stuff at an "Inventational" Show.

 

[BrianPowley]

Obviously a typo.

Ok...Last call. Your $70.00 table reservation is due in Joe Rundell's hands by Oct. 1st.
I cannot guarantee a table after that date but I can guarantee that at least 3,000 people will walk by our tables.

According to Joe Rundell, we have 12 attending this show. (I'm sure Joe will have a few of his sculptures there too!)
Thanks to those making the effort to be there. It's a party worth crashing. Last year in Cleveland, NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox was there admiring our work and making nice.
A few years ago, at an OGCA show, I had the pleasure to chat, one on one, with Col. Paul Tibbetts.
You never know who might show up.

 

[BrianPowley]

Just got my table reservations.
All of the engravers/gunmakers are in Rows A & B (Tables 6-12 each row).
There are 942 tables at this show! Good exposure for our craft.

Wow! What a great event and bunch of artists attending this show. I know I had a great time, plus I did some business. Winning all around. Looking forward to the next gathering in May.

I think this could really turn into an eastern FEGA show. Well done Joe Rundell and Brian Powley!!!

 

[BrianPowley]

Thanks Bert! It's always good to get together with like minded folks..and it was nice to finally meet you too!

At the close of this show, I was told by Joe Rundell that OGCA said they reserved 12 tables for us at the OGCA annual meeting May 17th & 18th 2014 in Wilmington, Oh.
This is their biggest attended show. Stay tuned.

 

[GTJC460]

I'll be there!
