Evening,

I'm one of the event coordinators for the test run here. We hope that this is the first of many annual conventions to be held in Minnesota. We are working hard to produce an exceptional event that will leave you smiling bigger than a rubber knife kill Keep an eye out here for updates or come check out the full thread located in the link in Guges original post. We have a lot of exciting things in store and are hoping to bring you even more!

Thanks,
K9

UPDATE:

Gentlemen,

I just received word that OAKLEY will be setting up a booth to display their latest gear at the convention. They have confirmed that they will have different display models available for attendees to try. In addition they will have a full size-run of boots so anyone there can see how they fit and feel! The OAKLEY rep. is not only a Chicago area manager of a similar "O" type store that can be found at the Mall Of America, but he's a dedicated veteran airsoft player.

Be sure to check out all the detailed information that can be found in the link provided in the original post!

Thanks,
K9

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The event will be held at the Veterans Memorial Center which is in a residential area of Inver Grove Heights. Therefore, Outdoor skirmishes are a no-go, but we are working on an indoor aspect that will allow you to get your "gun-on". The details are still in the mixer so look for more updates.


UPDATE:

Carter has just forwarded me an update from Evike.com.

Evike.com has generously donated a WE Hi-Capa 4.3 Aluminum slide GBB for the raffle! They will also be posting an event notification on their main webpage. I know that Carter and I have purchased several items from this great retailer and have received nothing but quality products and service.

UPDATE:

Alex and the rest of his crew at American Airsoft Magazine are "All In" for the convention! I got to watch these guys in action at Codename: Thunder 3 and man are they into it. Taking hits left and right in order to get the best game footage and milling around with all the players as well. One exciting note is that there's a good possibility that if you come to the convention then you'll be able to lay your hands on their first ever issue!

[k9troop]

UPDATE:

The MAA's own Downtown has arranged for an indoor Airsoft game to be held the day before the convention. While he is working feverishly with Thunder Alley in Princeton, MN to nail down times, he has verified that there will be a game there. This is the place that I cut my teeth on Airsoft at and it really is a unique indoor environment. So, come up the day before, play Airsoft and then come to the Convention the next! A weekend of fun and all things Airsoft!

Nice. It'll be a great opportunity to find some used guns. Oh, my wallet is protesting already.....

[Guges Mk3]

And people that are sitting on the fence for this...you have to show! I am going to be moving 6 weeks after this Con and I don't want to have to move anything! All Airsoft items will go CHEAP!

Like a NIB Maruzen Type 96, with a OK Cylinder Kit and 4 spare mags and assorted springs for $450.00...that less then cost! So come and see all the goodies.

This message will be repeated on various boards...

[k9troop]

UPDATE:

Just confirmed with Kent Wu from Airsplat.com that they've decided to donate a brand new Version 2 SRC M4 to the raffle. In addition they'll be donating loads of freebies ranging from stickers to posters to water bottles. You can check out this specific AEG and all the other great products from Kent and his staff at Airsplat.com

Thanks Airsplat.com, it's great to have your support!

[Guges Mk3]

And for sale at the Convention on the 12th.

New out of Box Star L85A2 - $430.00. I am parting this package up to lower the cost. Come and take this AEG home...

[k9troop]

UPDATE:


Maplewood's very own CC Military Surplus just verified that they will have a 30x30 foot square filled with guns, gear and uniforms! They'll also be bringing the "Argo", a six wheeled, amphibious assault vehicle decked out with all the trimmings for everyone to check out!

Shoot it big and shoot it early, any good hunter would have him on the hang by then!

Also...

UPDATE:

Andrew and the AEX crew just sent me an email confirming their raffle items have hit the road on the way to Minnesota. AEX has really stepped up to support the Convention and Airsoft in Minnesota. These guys were great to get to know and really are all for the sport and the player.

AEX Additions:
G&G M14
Western Arms 4.3" Expert
Discount vouchers
AEX Apparel

Thanks for the support AEX, you guys just don't talk it, you walk it also!

UPDATE:

Keep your stations tuned to www.Airsoftradio.com as the Convention will make it into the next episode! I started listening to Bill and Lance not long after picking up the sport and have always enjoyed their rants and information on new and old products.

Thanks for the plug guys and we hope to see you at the show!

[Guges Mk3]

This is just 2/3 of the pistols and accessories for sale. Which comprises 1/6 of the total items I am bring to the CON!



Once I get the next 3 shipments in I will update the sites...but this is just a teaser of what will be available.

[Guges Mk3]

Also at the event I will personally be running a contest to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank in the name of the MAA.

It will be a Gun Trivia Contest.

Each Guess is $2.00 with 3 guesses for $5.00

The Winner will be randomly drawn from all correct answers.

So get your “Gun Culture” knowledge up to date.

The Prize will be the Actual Gun itself.

[Guges Mk3]

UPDATE:

The MAA's own Carter owner/operator of imagecowboys inc., as well as one of the lead coordinators for the Airsoft Convention has generously donated a Star L85A2 to enhance the raffle! Carter has donated time and funding to ensure that this event is successful and is pouring his heart and soul into the event.



Make a point to personally thank him, and the rest of the Staff/Volunteers, at the Convention for the time and effort they've given to this venture. If you don't know Carter personally, he'll be the one with the glaring eyes on anyone who get's too close to the Hellcat!
