OK, here we go with the rest of the pictures of Blennerhassett Friends of the NRA fund raising banquet we held on Friday evening October 26 in Parkersburg. Seems like when I try to post several pictures my computer hangs up so I have to do make a couple of posts??
Here are some more items we had for games, auctions, and door prizes.

A happy winner!
We had a successful event and raised over $18,000 for the Friends of NRA. These events are held all over the country. Try to attend one held in your area. Even better, find a local Friends committe and volunteer to help organize their banquet. They will appreciate your help and you will be assuring the shooting sports of a bright future. I am the treasurer of our local committee and it is rewarding to be able to give back a little to something I enjoy so much.
