I've missed it the past two years and I'm looking forward to attending with my gf! Indeed, this will be a precursor to a rifle purchase very soon 

why small, inconspicuous print?
my tag would say
HI! my names is
steve/macsak

EVERYONE VOLUNTEERING:

Last time, I wrote "2A Hawaii's hnl.flyboy" in small print on my nametag.  I suggest we all do that in small inconspicuous print so we can recognize each other, unless someone with a lot of 2aH stickers can bring some to stick near our nametags or hats.

Last time I helped as an instructor.  I'm hoping to split it between that and loading magazines this next fair.

The 22 side was super fun last year. I'll be there both days this year, but not sure where they'll have me. So far I volunteered to RSO, but I wouldn't mind helping with the 22s again.

Good idea on the name tags or stickers.

First time I'm not going to be helping out.  I hope it all goes well and everyone has fun and stay safe.  I may go just to check it out though.

We better see you and your family out at the SSF! Sounds like there will be lots of fun stuff to shoot.

I volunteered for both days as well. Last year all I did was load mags both days. I was working the pistol line. I may RSO if they want me to. I just told them to put me where they needed me the most.

Hopefully, I'll work the food line this year! 

I plan on going down Saturday with the wife and probably visiting family. Looking forward to shooting some new guns 

note:
i last went 2 or 3 years ago and it was croded
and i have heard that it gets more crowded each year
plan accordingly

Hopefully it wont be to bad first thing in the morning, which is when I plan on going. Is Sunday usually better than Saturday?

I can go Sunday, but im scared they wont have as much as saturday, or run out of ammo

I would say Saturday would be the best.

oh
forgot about that
the ammo is donated, so who knows how much supply they will have
even if they used hra funds to buy, it would be more expensive and in lower supply like it has since the election/sandy hook

it has been difficult to get ammo with everything going on, we hope to have enough for both days.

So are we NOT allowed to bring our own guns and ammo to shoot? Just curious!

The pistol range, silhouette range and most of the rifle range will be open as usual so you can come and shoot as you normally would. You cannot bring your own gun to shoot in the areas where the fair is taking place such as the action bays and the portion of the rifle range set aside for the fair. Just realize the parking will be terrible both days. It does get crowded during the fair.

I think I will show up early and shoot my Glock all day!

Looks like I've been assigned to RSO on the HRA tents, probably in the action bay, so probably won't have much time to socialize.  However, it would be great if members here who are volunteering or just coming by to shoot some guns to have 2AHawaii stickers or identify themselves on their name tags.  I'll try to remember to put something on my name tag.

Umm, yep.
