1.) It will be held on March 7th (Saturday) @ the Red Lion Hotel at the Park.

2.) Open carry is accepted, in fact encouraged. If you have a single action rig this would be the perfect occasion to wear it. There is a "western" theme this year.

3.) Because of state law, the days of meal tickets and raffle tickets being included in the Sponsor packages is gone. Instead they have built meal packages with raffle tickets included. ( See Flyer) The meal packages are not tax deductible.

4.) There are sponsor packages available, with the 250 dollar Liberty package being the most popular. If you would like info on a higher priced package, PM me and I will get it to you. Be advised because of WA state gaming laws, there are no meal tickets or bucket raffle tickets included. Those will have to be purchased seperately. 75 dollars of this package is tax deductible.

5.) For anyone who wants to purchase a meal package, please use the form that is linked/attached and mail your money to them. That makes it much easier for them to build the packets for you to pick up the night of the banquet.

6.) If you only want event/meal tickets, I have a few available. PM me and we will work something out.

7.) There is an early bird option, if tickets are bought prior to 2/15 your name will be entered into a drawing for a Escort 12 GA Marineguard Security System. (See Flyer)

The way the banquet works is pretty straight forward. There will be games available for different guns, usually cost either 10 or 20 dollars. As an example, there is often a cartridge game. There will be 100 cartridges, each engraved with a number, which ever number is called the person who has the matching cartridge will win the gun being offered. Most of the gun events run 20 dollars.

Along with raffles (games) there will be a quite a bit of donated items placed on tables with a bucket in front of them. You will have the opportunity to purchase the bucket tickets. When you see something you would like to take a chance on (a gun) you drop a ticket in the bucket. Towards the end of the night the buckets are pulled and a ticket is pulled out, if it's yours, you win.

I would think a person could have a decent time with 100-150 dollars to play the games and buckets with. Of course, just showing up and eating dinner and mingling with like minded people is more than acceptable. You don't have to spend any extra money to enjoy yourself.

There is also a silent auction and a live auction, which you only have to play if you want too.

We don't want you to think you have to spend money to come, just showing up and supporting the rights of fellow citizens is more than enough.

I am hoping to get enough people to fill two tables (16 people). I already have 10 people so we only need 6 more to fill the second table, if needed we will take over another table.

If I missed anything, or if you have any questions, please PM me or send me an email to [email protected] .

The money raised by the FNRA banquets is used to further the shootng sports locally. One half of the money raised stays in state and the rest goes nationally. This year there were over 60 grants locally totaling over 260,000 dollars. Some of the grants were to the Spokane County 4H Shooting club (6683.00), Spokane Rifle Club (4500.00), Spokane Boy Scouts of America (4748.00) and Colville Valley Sharpshooters 4H shooting club (12420.00). So while the NRA-ILA is focused on politics, the FRNA is focused on advancing the sport of shooting.
