ARMA-Appleton @ Octoberfest 2006

Postby Aaron Pynenberg » Mon Oct 23, 2006 4:55 am

Hello Folks,

I wanted to give out some props to my Gals/Guys from ARMA-Appleton. We put on an all day, presentation/demonstration at Octoberfest, in downtown Appleton this October.

It was a hyge event with estimates of the crowds being in the thousands. We gave three formal presentations during the day, and numerous informal ones. We had sooo many talks with folks of all ages, and really reached out to the kids.

We were able to get our families involved, baking cookies and other treats for sale amd manning the booth.

I was very proud of the whole group and wanted to say thanks especially to Kevin Peterson and his lovely and very helpful Wife Robin, Herb and Natasha Dombrowski, and the entire Dombrowski clan, Erik and Brenda Winkler, Scott Hansen-(who drove about 4 hours just to help), of course my equally lovely Wife Angie, and everyone else who checked us out that day.

To see pictures of the event please go to the Study Groups page and click on our Appleton study group page, under the "multimedia" page, Kevin has posted some pictures of the event, which was the "Octoberfest 2006".
Thanks to Kevin for getting that squared away- see you all soon- Aaron P.

Good job spreading the word!

Nice getting the kids involved.

I noticed you have some sort of color tape or something on your rapier blades. Tell us what that is all about. Is if to make it more visible or is the blade made of something else?
