We had over 30,000 attendees , most of whom came by the Parker booth and many came in . We had 33 Parkers on display from A grades to Trojans. Many want to talk about their family guns .
Next year third weekend in February Pheasant Fest will be in Sioux Falls SoDak . Sioux Falls is a very pleasant town and the convention center is perfect for us.
What we do is only exhibit guns to create and sustain interest in Parkers . We don’t sell or buy or anything with self interest . We brought in many new members and significant money through raffle ticket sales. We have 30x 10 300 sq ft of booth space and fill it with tables , gun racks and between 30-50 guns of all grades , configurations and condition. We like to have challenged guns that need work because show attendees might encounter such a gun and can see what could be done. We need knowledgeable people to work the booth and answer questions from the people that come by.
We have had A 1 S, to Trojans , many times it’s the best and biggest collection some people have seen. We hear stories about lost family guns and people wanting to know if they can still be shot. Modern gun make reps come by and wish their companies still made guns like these.
We have the raffle gun for the year and some years we showJohn Browning’s A grade .
Sioux Falls in Feb 2024 and we will need people to work the booth .
