There will be an "Open Carry" picnic, in a public park, in La Crosse County.
The date is SET! May 17, 2009. The time is SET: 11:00 AM -- 3:30 PM.

Google maps is NOT up to date, please use this mapquest link: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Onalaska&state=WI&address=N5523+Sobkowiak+Rd&zipcode=54650
I have included an attachment that explains the event in detail, but have also summarized it below. We have 500 fliers printed up, and ready to send to every Rod & Gun club and gun shop that will post it. We also have 5,000 tri-fold brochures that will be handed out at the picnic. We would like to get the pamphlets out to as many Rod & Gun clubs and gun shops, and gun showsin Wisconsin as possible.

In celebration of the recent memo from Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen regarding the legality of open carry, there will be an "Open Carry" picnic, at the Marvin Gardens park, Town of Onalaska, La Crosse County.
The cost is FREE! However, donations will be accepted and any proceeds from the gathering will be donated to Wisconsin Badger Camp.
