Great American Outdoor Show

The NRA Foundation’s Friends of NRA Banquet and Wall of Guns are returning to the Great American Outdoor Show, which takes place February 4 to 12 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pa. Both are extremely popular during the gathering, which draws international vendors and crowds from across the nation, making it the world’s largest outdoor show.

The Friends of NRA Banquet takes place Thursday, February 9, in the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex’s PA Preferred Ballroom. The night of entertainment begins with doors opening at 5 p.m. and includes chances to win custom firearms, unique merchandise and tailored hunts, all while enjoying dinner with other Second Amendment supporters. The banquet will raise money for national, state and local programs that support America’s shooting heritage. There are numerous table and sponsorship packages available for purchase. Individual tickets are $65, and couple tickets are $120.

The NRA Foundation’s ever-popular Wall of Guns returns to the Great American Outdoor Show this year, thanks to Weatherby, the official event sponsor. Located at booth 39 in the complex’s main hallway, the event will run each day of the show. At $10 a ticket, a winner is drawn for every 100 tickets sold and may choose a firearm from more than 40 different makes and models. There are a number of different ticket packages, ranging from $10 to $1,000, some of which include a limited-edition Wall of Guns T-shirt, donated by Nine Line Apparel. All net proceeds from the Wall of Guns will benefit The NRA Foundation, the country’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports.

The Great American Outdoor Show celebrates the outdoor traditions treasured by millions of Americans and their families in a 650,000 sq.-ft. exhibit space that will feature more than 1,000 exhibitors, including shooting manufacturers, outfitters, boat and RV dealers, hunting and fishing retailers and much more.
