Minneapolis this weekend! Pheasant Fest

[Matthew Hanson]

Hey PGCA Members!!

Get up and get out this weekend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday February 14-16 to Pheasant fest!! The PGCA both will be up all weekend so sake off the cold and come on down, over, up, across, or what ever direction and visit the booth. There will be plenty of super cool Parker guns to look at and talk Parker Guns with Dean Hanson and others.Increase your knowledge base!! Come out and see his very rare lifter 20 ga. unrestored and quite the gun to see and hold. That is just the tip of the iceberg!!

The raffle gun will also be there! You can buy a ticket to win the coolest raffle gun we have had in years! A super nice 20 ga. Ed and I will shake you down and all of your friends to support our great organization!!

So what do you say?? Anyone who shows up on Friday and mentions that they read this post, I'm buying drinks at the bar after we shut down on Friday afternoon.

Have fun fellas but count me out. Recently back from 2 weeks in Argentina and going to be gone at the end of the month again. Work calls. Tell Ed I am selling raffle tickets at home to support the cause :bigbye:

Thanks Randy, We will keep the booth jumping! Dean and I are really looking forward to the weekend. Last year we learned a lot. Going to be selling the Parker lifestyle!

Thanks Mills, I know Dean is very excited to see you and talk to you about Parkers. We are going to have a lot of fun this weekend. We'll even put Harry to work! Everyone helps out. See you tomorrow

Wish I could get up there but just not going to happen. Thanks again to all that are helping man the Parker booth.

I’m sitting at LAX right now.

Weather has flights all messed up. On standby for next flight now:cuss:

[Randy G Roberts]

Did you fellas finally get there?

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Pheasant Fest is on my bucket list, hopefully in the next couple of years. It is not on my wife's list, so I'll send her south after I get back--someone needs to take care of the dogs.

[Mills Morrison]

We're here at last.

[Matthew Hanson]

I'll try my hand at some pictures today!! LOT'S of great guns! The guys are great and Harry, Ed and I are shaking down the locals for plenty of raffle gun tickets! I think we got at least one new member and I think someone who is interested in writing for the Parker Pages. Love the questions "I got this old Parker?" and "Do you guys shoot these?" Big shout out to Charlie Herzog for loaning us his Damascus sample. It makes explaining the pattern in the very nice Damascus barrels so easy and fascinating! Well it's off to breakfast because i am setting up at 8:00ish for our 9:00 Am start time. Gotta sell more tickets and drool over some of the cool guns here!

[Jay Gardner]

Stop in and check out “Upland Lowlife” and meet PGCA member Jay Dowd.

[Matt Buckley]

Enjoyed my visit at the booth at Pheasant fest today. We had lots of good conversation about Parkers and lots of nice guns to look at and study. Thanks to everyone who works the booth.

Had a great time at Pheasant Fest today.Great to see Bruce again and meet several of the other members. The Parker display was again the best part of the show. Thanks to Bruce and others who lent for display some of their fine collections. It was a special treat to see them.

[Matthew Hanson]

Great day on Saturday! Lots of tickets sold and lots of new people met. The guys were very busy in the booth talking Parkers! Here are pictures of the booth before the onslaught of people!

[Mills Morrison]

Lots of fun at the Parker and LC Smith booths and at the show overall

[Matthew Hanson]

SLAM DUNK!! My feet hurt and I am horse, Ed could barely talk this morning and Harry was basking in the glow of selling 300 tickets!! I believe we ran Ed out of tickets! Ed,"we're going to need more tickets"!!!

Harry Morris, is a ticket selling machine! Mills's boy sold 300 tickets, I can't tell you how excited I was to see a very young boy selling tickets for ours and his Parker organization. Harry is our future! Folks, i think we broke a record for ticket sales. This is the PGCA's money so I need a big shout out to all the people who worked the booth this weekend. The dedicated guys who answered that favorite Parker Question "I got an old Parker from__________" "what do I do with it and can I shoot it?"

Dean calculated the distance on his phone on the way home and YES! we will be in South Dakota for Pheasant fest 2021!

Matt Hanson (now if If I can only win that 20 ga.) Lord knows I put more than enough tickets in.

[Mills Morrison]

Thank you Matt and thank you all for making Harry feel welcome. He is ready to come back. I think we need to raise his quota though.

It was great for both of us to see old friends and meet some new ones.

[Mills Morrison]

Here are some pictures I took. So much was going on, it was hard to take pictures.

[John Dallas]

Would it make sense for one of the metal magicians to freshen up the damascus barrel showpiece?

[Mike Koneski]

Looks like Pheasant Fest will be held somewhere else in 2021.

[Chuck Bishop]

May I suggest the Pa. Farm Show complex? It's good enough for the NRA Outdoor show. I hear there are still some pheasants in Pa.

[Mills Morrison]

Did Sioux Falls secede?
