Need NCOWS items for Wild West Fest this Saturday

doccarson · September 11, 2006, 05:22:28 PM

I just got a call from a little town up here in NW Ohio that is going to have a Wild West Fest this Sat. the 16th and would like our club to come and give the fest an old west flair. I know that it is late notice but is there anything that NCOWS can send to pass out and to use for raffle prizes?

Thanks for the help,
Doc Carson
Rep. Defiance Justice Society

I'm going out on a limb here , but how about a first time membership for a prize. Jack???

Trap,
That was one of my ideas. Would like to still get some other things to hand out and raffle. Draw them in with trinkets and keep them here with substance.

I think Dr Bob might want to send some "Vote for Dr Bob" campaign buttons & bumper stickers.

doccarson · September 12, 2006, 04:23:44 PM

Well, I have tried e-mails, phone calls and posting here with out any serious helpful reply. It looks like my call for help from NCOWS has fallen on deaf ears. I at least had hoped to get NCOWS info to pass out to intersted people to get them involved in our great sport. Looks like I am on my own. Oh well, I know I can count on me.

Not so fast, there pard.

Your request has been considered by the E-Committee and a decision reached to assist. I'd guess the appropriate officer has perhaps not yet contacted you but your request did not fall on "deaf ears" and has been acted upon.

If you don't hear anything by tomorrow, send me an e-mail or a PM.

Doc,
A gift certificate for a years free membership was put in the mail to you this afternoon, that's less than 24 hours from the time you asked. You're at the mercy of the post office now.

doccarson · September 13, 2006, 08:24:05 AM

LG,
I do appreciate the help and will grovel at your boots at a later date. Too little sleep and too many things to do has a tendency to make one get stupid on the computer.
Thanks again!
Doc

doccarson,
Don't forget that posses are entitled to a reimbursement of up to $100 for NCOWS promotional cost at gun shows and the like. Just turn in your receipts to the Banker (me). And not trying to be smart or a wiseguy but please remember that the CAS City forum is not affiliated with NCOWS officially. The correct way to contact the editor or secretary (or any member of the congress or E-Committee) is through the NCOWS website e-mail system or by calling the NCOWS office.

Yuma,
I had tried the NCOWS site and kept getting error messages every time I tried to send. For the last week I have been working 16hr shifts in the hospital and no one would want me to call them on my breaks(0000hrs & 00400hrs). The one time I could call it rang 8 times with no reply. Not trying to cause problems, just needed help and this wire was last resort. I have told the fest people for next year that I need more notice that what was given. I am a one man show up here in Ohio surrounded by people who think shoots are put on by the great farie and who are SASS speed freaks. Nothing against SASS but it just ain't for me anymore. If there is anything I can do on this end to help improve NCOWS let me know and I will dive in head first(that way I won't hurt myself).

Doc,
How did the event go? Who won the membership? ect. ect. jt

An update from the Wild West Fest in Liberty Center,Ohio on Sat the 16th. I passed out over 500 pamphlets to people who showed intrest, had a hand painted banner for The Defiance Justice Society, gave gun safety lessons to kids with rubber band guns that they got to keep after they passed, gave talks on "History vs Hollywood" and also on the history that firearms and the people that carried them played on NW Ohio. Also got to have some gunfights in the middle of town both Hollywood with the walk down and history with the time honered back shooting, even got to help the local cops grab a purse snatcher (I scared him more than they did, I had bigger guns is what they said he told them). The NCOWS membership went to a very deserving cowboy shooter that was the only person to come and help out named John George, he is a SASS member but is tired of the raceguns. In November I have been asked to go to THE Defiance Collage and teach a class for the history department on The History Of the Gun in NW Ohio, should be a good time. It was a long day and wiped out part of my personal checkbook but I have already signed on for next year( now I have a year notice, lot better than a week), next year will be Civil War Border Battle. I am already working on my talks and demos on cap and ball revolvers.

Doc,
Give us the date, and keep us posted, maybe some of us over here in Indiana can make to Ohio next year and give you a hand...I used to do the Piqua reenactment every year in the late "70's" and "80's". We had a set up in the vendors area and I used to help out an old Chippewa friend from Minnesota who has long passed since then.

Doc , Sounds like you did an outstanding program, good job! jt

Dr. Bob · September 21, 2006, 11:48:11 AM

Howdy Doc,

Sounds like you had a great time and certainly did NCOWS proud! Thanks for your hard work.

Regards,

Yuma Kid · September 21, 2006, 12:31:34 PM

Doc,
Don't forget to send me your receipts, maybe I can ease that strain on your checkbook. Posses are allowed up to $100 in reimbursement for promoting NCOWS at Gun shows, etc.

That is a great idea ....gave gun safety lessons to kids with rubber band guns that they got to keep after they passed

I think I want to incorperate that in to mine...

Where did you get the Rubberband guns ? I've seen repeaters somewhere looked something like a revolver .

doccarson · September 21, 2006, 02:21:57 PM

Yuma,
This one was my treat, I may take you up on it next year.

Major,
Found them at Dollar Tree. They gave me a discount, I had to wipe out the supply from six stores. It is not every day that someone comes in wanting to buy 250 rubber band guns at the last minute.

Doc

Major 2 · September 21, 2006, 02:27:10 PM

We have a Dollar Tree. ...thanks I give it a try.

I got to tell ya .. I looked on line

I saw the 144 shot Gatlin Gun RBG
