Cocktail Party - If you are a member of the Vintage Gunners or an exhibitor, the cocktail party on Friday starting at 5:00 pm is complimentary. We ask that you send an email to tsnyder610@aol.com stating that you are coming so that we have a count and can plan according. This event is held on the shooting grounds so your shooting attire is fine to wear at the event. For non-members, the cost is $25.00 payable at the door.
Ladies High Tea - The Ladies High Teas on Friday at 2:00 pm is also complimentary to members or wives/significant others. We ask that if you/your wife/significant other plan on attending the Ladies (only) High Tea that you send an email to tsnyder610@aol.com so that we can plan according. The ladies on the committee have done a great job in putting together this event. They have their own 30x30 tent, overlooking the nearby pond and a view of the mountains. Period dress is suggested but not required.
Seminars - We have two seminars scheduled with a third pending. The German Gun Collectors will be discussing firearms of German heritage and Lars Jacob of "Lars Jacob Wingshooting" will be discussing gun fitting.
Injured Vets Benefit - There will be a long bird event in which all the proceeds will go to providing a shooting experience at a shooting preserve in Pennsylvania for injured veterans. The organization guarantees 100% of the money will go to providing an outdoor experience they might not normally have. No administration fees are taken out.
Prizes – For every event that you shoot you will receive a ticket and be entered into a raffle for a number of great prizes available for viewing and to be drawn on Saturday afternoon at approximately 4:00 pm.
