The Ruger Collectors Association (RCA) will once again be hosting our Annual Spring Display show in Harrisburg, PA on March 19-20, 2011.
On Monday, January 10th, I will mail out the information packets to those of you on the mailing list, as well as those of you that have provided me with your mailing address in the last year. If you do not receive a packet in the next week or two, and would like one, please drop me an email and I will get one out to you ASAP.
The show will be held at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA. Set-up is on Friday, March 18th from 4PM until 7PM. The show is on Saturday, March 19th and Sunday, March 20.
The information packet I sent out includes all of the details about the show, table reservations, banquet information and hotel info.
The RCA has secured a block of room at the Courtyard by Marriott, about 8 miles away from the show, at a discounted rate of $99.99. This is a new location as compared to prior years. There are 20 rooms being reserved (4 singles and 16 doubles) until March 1, at which time any unbooked rooms will be released. If you are interested, please call the hotel directly, at (717) 558-8544, anytime after Tuesday, January 12th, and tell them you are with the Ruger Collectors Association in order to obtain the discounted rate.
Once again, the RCA will be holding a fund raising auction after the banquet on Saturday night. 100% of the profits will go to the RCA Display Show fund to help run the display shows, the NRA show, fund trophies, improve the recruitment tables, get member badges, table covers, raffles, prizes, etc. Recent prizes for displayers have included a few firearms (USPS Sped Six, 77/22, Bisley 44 Special, etc...) and we would like to be able to continue to encourage, and reward, displayers.
Rules are simple. Opening bid on all items, except firearms, is $5. Firearms will have a reasonable opening bid to be determined based on the gun. No reserves, no absentee bidding, no phone bids, you have to be present to bid. Payment due at the end of the auction, cash or check. Winning bidders take their item home with them, except for firearms, which will need to be shipped to an FFL.
I would like to take the opportunity to solicit you for donations for the March Harrisburg auction. Please let me know by PM or email (in my profile) if there is anything that you would like to donate. No item is too small. We simply ask that you ship the item to me (or my FFL if a gun) so that we can have it in hand, document it in the master auction list, and catalog it for the auction. We will have a list of items available for people at the show. We will then bring all items with me to the show and set up the auction before dinner. We will have our banquet on Saturday night allowing everyone to inspect all of the items and then have our auction after dinner.
Thanks in advance for helping to continue to improve our great hobby! I look forward to seeing some of you again, and meeting some of you for the first time!
See you in Harrisburg!!
