Please note that there is an Appleseed event in Newcastle, Wyoming on 7-8 June 2008. Appleseed events are rifle training and target qualifying events organized by the Revolutionary War Veterans. Their event is separate, but they have indicated a willingness to have a representative at our event to inform people about Appleseed. We are very enthusiastic about this idea.

This schedule is open for lots more activities and events. Please don't feel slighted if your activity was not included. Just contact us to make sure we remember to add it!
