The National Rifle Association is the promoter of the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Sportsmen Show this year. Is anybody planning to attend the show? I will be there during the final weekend on February 8th and 9th. I can’t make the show’s first weekend because of my family’s Super Bowl party. The show runs from February first to the ninth. Maybe we can meet up for lunch at one o clock in the cafeteria or meet up at the NRA booth. I will buy lunch for the first ten Field and Stream users. Who coming those days and who wants a free lunch?

Gary,
Right now I am shooting for (pun intended) driving up there on the 8th. Don't have a whole lot of details myself since I can't make it the first weekend.

[Gary Devine]

smccardell, sounds good and I am looking forward to breaking bread with you.

Hindsight, it may be better to meet in the cafeteria inside the banquet hall at 1 pm.

I will be wearing a cardinal red baseball cap that has a photo of a buck running broadside. The words on my cap are "Kevin Tourand Outfitters" listed above the buck and "White Fox, Saskatchewan" listed under the buck.

Can't make it. Maybe next year.

[Treestand]

Thanks for the invite,But I'm all ready booked for the Fl,Gators vs Alabama Basket Ball Game at S. O'Connell Center in Gainesville Fl.on the 8th.

Harrisburg didn't have a Sportmen show last year because that stupid promoter from England banned a few firearms.
There was a large protest with many vendors, organizations and guest speakers were boycotting the show. With everybody bailing out the English Promoter canceled the show.

My family members and I booked a couple rooms at a near by Holiday Inn this year and stay overnight on Saturday night. We get up fresh the next morning, eat breakfast and head right back to the show. Tons of Fun!

The show is massive and you need at least two days to see it all.

Steve, next year hooking up sounds like a good plan.

Treestand, enjoy the Florida/Alabama basketball game.

Okay treestand is a gator fan I like it go gators! We will crush Alabama! Go Gators!

This could be an elaborate practical joke on some poor soul wearing a cardinal red baseball cap who is going to be mobbed by strangers demanding a free lunch at the show.
Just kidding.

[Gary Devine]

99, LOL
I think it would be funnier if I forgot my Kevin Tourant guide hat and left it home.
Only Joking!

I want everybody to confirm their coming to lunch via this thread.
They can bring it to my attention up to Feb. 7th.

I don’t want three strangers coming up to me at one o clock for a free lunch and saying they are F&S users Manny, Moe and Jack.

Are you fellers turning this into Match dot Com, Dating dot AARP dot Com, or a new dating service for lonely hearts? LMAO

[Longrifle]

May attend this year just to show support for the NRA, but not sure of the date. Superbowl Sunday is always the best day to go to such an event, or to Cabelas in Hamburg, no crowds.

Show is always overwhelming. The crass commercialism can be a bit much to take.

[big bear]

I'll be there Saturday standing in line to see Eva Shockey!

[Gary Devine]

Big Bear, at 1 pm come up to the banquet hall cafeteria and have lunch with us.
I will be there and F&S user smccardell who said he is coming on Saturday the 8th.
It is my lunch treat and I’ll be wearing a cardinal red Kevin Tourant Outfitters baseball cap.
See you then.
