The theme for the PGCA tent display will be "
MY FAVORITE PARKER". As you may recall this was the same theme at the last Hausmanns shoot. I have received a lot of positive feedback on this and numerous folks have suggested that we just stick with this theme for venues that have smaller crowds. It worked well at Ernies and we had a fabulous display IMO. The intent is simply to generate as much interest as possible with no particular guides in terms of gauge, configuration, grade, 1 barrel, 2 barrels, etc. Actually it does not need be your favorite Parker , only you will know that. Just dig one out and bring it along please. You folks know how much we enjoy eye candy.
I have created a display card that we can affix to each gun. A copy of the card created for one of our members for his gun is attached for your viewing pleasure. The sample may or may not be entirely accurate in terms of information contained however it is accurate in format displayed. If you would be so kind as to drop me a line at
randy@hsiagency.com or send me a PM with the info on your gun I will prepare the card. It can be as simple as grade, gauge, etc., possibly a short comment why it is your favorite Parker and include your name or not. One thing I have noticed in the tent is that folks are continually inquiring as to "who owns that gun". If you do choose to put your name on the card my hope is that it will allow attendees to identify the owner and create some dialog with them thereby generating additional interest and certainly sharing the vast knowledge of the PGCA membership. Adding your name or not is your decision. Also feel free to bring any other Parker memorabilia along for display, all items welcomed with space permitting.
Looking forward to hearing from some of you. No worries though if I don't as you will hear from me then
See ya'll soon !
