Bass Pro Shops Grand Opening Opportunity

Posted on: 10/31/2005 From: Jim Hamilton

We have a great opportunity to promote 4-H Shooting Sports, have some fun and raise some funds. The Bass Pro Shops store in Denver is having their grand opening November 10-13, 2005.

The State 4-H Shooting Sports program was contacted because nationally Bass Pro is supporting the 4-H Shooting Sports Program. The folks at Bass Pro Shops are in need of sackers/baggers for their Conservation Night which is Nov 9 as well as the rest of the grand opening. The are asking for 15 sackers/baggers for a shift of one hour. I doubt that we can fill all shifts but we will see what we can do.

We will be taking donations for Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports at each cash register. What funds we receive will be divided between each club/county and the state programs.

Times are from 5:00 pm to 9:00pm on wed. 8:15am to 8:00pm on Thursday Thur Saturday and 9:15 Thur 6:00 pm on Sunday. We will also be setting up the Shooting Sports trailer and could use volunteers for that during the same time period.

It is a great opportunity to raise some funds, have some fun, and see the largest outdoor sports store in the state!

If you, your club, or your county can can help in this contact Rick Romanin at 1-303-761-5650 or e-mail at: rlromanin@netzero.net. we can use all the help we can get on this youth and volunteer leaders as well.
