Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages; we are proud to announce the 2nd annual La Crosse County Open Carry Picnic.

The event will be held May 16, 2010 at the Village Park in downtown West Salem, WI.

There will be a Chicken-Q, $7.00 for a complete dinner. Serving from 11:00AM - 3:00PM or until all the chicken is gone.

There will be a free drawing for numerous prizes, watch this post for prize details.

$300 CASH Grand Prize:celebrate

This event is open to the public and as always Open Carry is encouraged but not required. There will be water and soda available, but no alcoholic beverages will be served.

Wisconsin Carry has been invited to attend as a distinguished guest and they will have a table with merchandise for sale as well as membership applications for those who wish to join that fine organization

As this is Wisconsin's first major open carry event of the year, let's all do our part to make it a successful one.

Directions to the venue are as follows: from Interstate 90, Take exit #12
(West Salem) Turn away from the BP truck stop. Take
first left, (county B) pass the Cenex truck stop. At stop
sign, turn left. Take first right onto Mill Street. Go 2
blocks to park.

Almost forgot: We have permission from the local PD to use all park facilities and this is not in a school zone.

Please feel free to contact the following people with any questions.

Sounds great. If my fiance has off work, maybe I can get her to come with me for lunch! Might even be able to convince a friend or 2 to come with.

We encourage EVERYONE to download the flier and distribute it to all your local places. Place a posting at the laundromat, your local gun shop, your local gym, your local convenience store, sporting goods store, inform your fellow range members, etc. Even post it on your favorite web site.

He will have an invitation as will any politician and they are welcome to come, support us and press the flesh but there will be no speechifying as we want to keep the event apolitical and focused on our agenda not theirs.

Well, we are coming down to the wire. I am trying to get a meeting with the local radio group to determine a cost for running adds.

We have Schwans on board so there will be ice cream for sale, and the local Woodman's has been VERY supportive.

We are still trying to get a handgun donated as the "major" door prize, but so far, none of the local businesses are willing to take the extra step.

We will continue to update the thread as the picnic gets closer

I have placed 1/4 page ads in the May 13, 14, and 15 issues of the La Crosse Tribune; next weeks Tomah and Sparta Foxy Shopper; and did some internet advertising with lacrossetribune.com with a guarantee of 24,000 views of the ad on their website

An ad will also be coming out nest Tuesday in the Buyers Express, a local shopper.

It looks like we may have a major event coming up here boys and girls!
