Well; it is Official. The next Get Together of the S&WCA and other Smith & Wesson Fans/Collectors; is now scheduled for Saturday, August 25th in Vancouver WA. "waelkhntr" aka:Terry will be our "Host" for this event. He has made arrangements for us to use the Firefighters Union Hall in Vancouver WA
<span class="ev_code_RED">We will be starting at 9 am and will run until 3pm or so.</span>
Here are the Facts:
This Facility is not a Gun Range and so I think that any BBQ Guns will need to be unloaded. But, anyone wishing to bring a BBQ Rig is more than Welcome to do so - <span class="ev_code_RED">Just use a little common sense, please!</span>
1. There is parking for about 100 cars or more.
2. Plenty of Tables will be available for our use. Anybody wanting a Table or two needs to bring some sort of Table cover. We will not be requiring that you "tie" up your guns for this Show as it is a Private gathering but please remember "SAFETY FIRST" So, please make sure your display guns are empty.
2a. If you want a Table "Reserved", Please let Terry or myself know so we don't run out. Also, as in the Past we will be setting up our own Tables so you might want to come a bit early to help with set up. Extra Table covers will be available if you don't have your own.
3. There is a Kitchen area available so weren't going to make this another Pot-Luck so bring your favorites and enough for a couple of others so we can all Share.
4. As in the Past, membership in the Association is NOT required for attendance.
5. WE don't care How Far or How Close you are, you're still Welcome. I understand we will have some folks from Oregon up to Play with us who weren't able to make it last Time.
6. At present we have had Folks commit to bringing the Following <span class="ev_code_RED">EATS</span> but remember this is a Pot Luck so bring what you like or just a bit of whatever you can:
K-22 is providing the BBQ Pulled Pork
KKG is bring another batch of BBQ Meatballs
Mortech has said he'll bring a "Potatoe(or Potato) Salad"
BluesBear has committed to "a big batch of Bear's Beans"
xray97 will provide plastic eating utensils, paper plates, and a couple cases of pop.
Now it is up to the rest of you to provide whatever you can to add to the above "MENU". Chips, dips, some KFC or whatever. All of it will be welcome.
7. We are planning to have a "Door Prize Table" if you'd like to bring a little something to put out. The drawing will be held at the end of the Day and we don't have any plans for trying to "Hunt anyone Down" just to give them a Freebie!!!
The physical address is 2807 Fruit Valley Road, Vancouver Wa 98660. The building is approximately 2600 sq ft. The main meeting room is about 20X40, there is a kitchen, office, restrooms, long hall way, an open covered area outside, about 40 parking spots on the pavement with about twice that much on a grassy area. There ar around 60 chairs, 17 tables seven of which are 8 feet long, six that are 6 feet long, and two that are 4 feet long not sure about the remaining two.
Here are a couple shots of the Place:
There are several easy way to get there. These are the directions from Mapquest:
1) From I-5 South take exit 1D Fourth Plain Blvd.
2) Turn right and follow Fourth Plain Blvd. West for 2.2 miles
3) Turn right on Fruit Valley Road follow 2 tenths of a mile
4) You will see the Firefighters Union sign on the right side of the road.
From I-5 North same directions except turn left from the exit onto Fourth Plain Blvd.
Terry has put out a few bucks for us to be able to use this Facility and there will be a donation can located at the Door. And, we all need to plan on leaving the place in a better condition than we found it and maybe we'll get a chance to use this location again!!!
Now for the Legal Stuff. <span class="ev_code_RED">Yes, we will be abiding by ALL Local, State and Federal Laws during this gathering.</span> Nobody is going to be playing "Cops and Robbers" here because I am sure you all know the Rules. We all know that loaded guns don't belong in a Gun Show - As far as I'm concerned your personal carry gun is an exception but remember you are [/COLOR][/b]Licensed to Carry Concealed[/COLOR][/b] and should [/COLOR][/b]NOT[/COLOR][/b] be running around with "it" uncovered unless it is unloaded. This Facility is not a Gun Range and so I think that any BBQ Guns will need to be unloaded.
Thanks,
Mike & Terry
