Hey folks, brace yourselves for
The 1st annual Pennsylvania preppers meet and greet .... uhhh.... extravaganza.
We are setting two dates in January (Friday the 11th in the evening, and Saturday the 19th in the afternoon) and if you want to come out vote for one or the other. The one with most votes is the "primary date", but if there is enough interest and people that can't make the primary, the secondary date will get scheduled, too.
Once I have a feel for how many folks we have and where everyone is coming from - we'll set more of the details in stone and also pick out a location (somewhere in the vicinity of SE Pennsylvania). This will be a family-friendly event if you want to bring a spouse or kids, and we'll probably work food into it somehow because I love food.
This invite is also being extended on glocktalk.com S&P forum , and feel free to spread the word. All I ask is that we have an advanced headcount. This is primarily a preparedness geek get-together, however anybody who carrys extra stuff in their pockets are welcome to join. :)
***UPDATE***
Times and locations are set.

This is the main event and will start with a meet @ 1000 hrs, with a firestarting challenge. Bring something to start fire and we'll see who is the "hottest" prepper in PA. No lighters, no matches. You can't start your fire with anything that couldn't be viablly brought in your BOB.

Lunch will be held later when we arrive at a good spot for it - pack in everything you need, we will pack out all trash.
Let me know which dates you will be attending on and I'll add you to the list. Hope to see ya there! :)
*** 2nd UPDATE SPONSORSHIP + PRIZES***
Hey folks... I managed to secure sponsorship for our event thru edcforum. www.edcdepot.com is going to sponsor our event and is generous enough to have donated at least three prizes for our meet and greet on the 19th! I'm going to keep them secret for now, but I will tell you that I already own every one of the prizes and love them. Very cool stuff. Again, be sure to let me know if you are coming - there are still alot of "maybe's" floating around. And another thankyou and mention of thanks to Sharpdogs and edc depot!
