2019 Annual Event – Saturday October 5, 2019
- Decide soon to be a Sponsor and/or Vendor - deadline for these approaching on September 25, 2019
Some of you already have your sponsorships, tables, vendor booths and/or tickets. This is a thank you to those of you who are already committed to the event. We are off to a great start and have already grossed more than half of what we raised last year!
If you don't have your sponsorships, vendor booths, tables or tickets, there is still time - but the event is only a little over two weeks out. We have to place the meal order in about 10 days so I need as many of you who are planning to come but have not made those arrangements to do so TODAY!
Saturday, October 5, 2019
9:30am to approximately 2:00pm (doors open at 9:30am) We are doing a mid-day event so that you can travel without the need of overnight facilities. Activities will start at 10:00 a.m, the meal will be around 11:00 and all activities (speakers, auction, etc.) should be over by around 2:00 p.m. The location will be at the Smiley Hollow Farm just slightly north of Nashville. Directions are available or you can just GPS the location at 5937 Smiley Hollow Rd, Goodlettsville, TN 37072-7162. Its a casual affair so feel free to wear your jeans and boots or whatever is your preferred “causal day” but presentable attire. Live and silent auction items.

Why is it important to support the annual event? The proceeds from the annual event go directly to the Tennessee Firearms Association Legislative Action Committee which is the TFA's registered political action committee. This entity, the TFALAC, is the one that plays an active role in election year campaigns by making direct contributions to candidates and which works to find challengers to legislators who have worked against your 2nd Amendment protected rights in Tennessee. We need your help to grow the attendance, bring in sponsors and vendors and to raise the funds necessary to fight the Establishment that has refused to even allow a full floor vote on Constitutional Carry in Tennessee. So, even if you cannot attend the event please consider making a donation to the TFALAC's efforts.
Tickets are $50 per person. Groups of 8 are $400 per group. 
(Orders are handled on our secure server.)
