Renew at a show or by mail. I m in color on the WEB SPRING EDITION APRIL 2017 DTGCA gun show attendance has exceeded expectations in 2017, which is outstanding news. Many shows, including the Sioux Falls Trophy Show, have seen record setting attendance. With the departure of America s Greatest Gun Salesman Ever, Barack Obama, many thought attendance at the shows would be at decade record lows, thankfully this has not been the case. The show managers have done a great job recruiting new vendors and focusing their advertising dollars on marketing tactics that are the most effective. I am pleased to announce the DTGCA is a finalist under consideration for hosting the Annual NRA National Gun Collectors Show during the Sioux Falls, SD Trophy Show. We should learn in April whether we were selected. We are already exploring ways to acquire more space to accommodate the national traffic this additional event would bring to our already highly successful Sioux Falls Trophy Show. This would be a great honor for DTGCA. The NRA backed advertising and over $10,000 in prize money will bring greater demand for displaying at the Sioux Falls Feb 2018 show has been a remarkable year! We finally have a true 2 nd Amendment Advocate in the White House and the DTGCA shows are seeing REC- ORD setting attendance! Sincerely, Brandon L. Maddox President DTGCA
