Thompson Island is across the street from the information center at the head of the island (MDI). It is a nice place for a get together. Anyone who wants to stroll downtown Bar Harbor or check the views from Cadillac while OC? let me know.

I'm in, as long as it's after the event is picked up or wayyyyy before hand!

Yes sir! July 11th at 1pm! It's on Thompson Island in Acadia National Park! I sent out the press release today at noon. The media frenzy should pick up tomorrow or so.

Theres a lot going on in July, in due time you'll begin hearing about it, and seeing it. One thing that would be great is if you could tell everyone you know! We're working on fliers and business cards as I type this, we'd like if people could distribute it amongst friends and post them on the walls of gun shops, businesses, restaurants, anywhere they would like!

You guys need to use word of mouth to spread the word of this event - hit your email lists, friends, associates, etc. make a flier and post here as an attachment and print them and hand them out at gun shows, post in barber shops, gun stores, and ranges. Let's roll!

Could really use some help designing a logo if anyone out there has experience in such things.

Planning on getting some business cards and flyers made up soon, was thinking bumper stickers too if there's interest.

It's a start. I'd like to superimpose a handgun over an outline of Maine. Guess I should work in that direction. My obstacles are largely technical; haven't worked with photoshop or illustrator much in recent memory.

Would anyone be traveling through or by Augusta to get to the event? I'm in need or a ride.

I can change up my route to pick you up, only adds about 20 minutes of travel time for me.
