So here is a sneak peek at the creek.
The water is at least 16" or 18" below where it will be for the rally...... huh.gif
We seem to be on terms with the owner but still have many hurdles to cross before we get there.
A visit to the local yesterday really helped give us some ideas on how this could be set up. ;) :D

After we visited the local we headed over to Bill's shop at Gold-N-Detectors, and as soon as we mentioned the rally he donated a 0.5 g. picker for the fund raising....... ;)

We have also come up with several other goodies which we will talk about in the new thread..... :) :) :)

Anyway on with the sneak peek... unsure.gif

Thanks Russ!
Bill will sure appreciate that. He has a nice shop in Golden, and he loves to detect. :)
Your'e right too. We do need to, and we will be showing our appreciation to all the business, clubs, or organizations that donate to the rally and could not be there.
We will put up their names and contact information at the rally main booth.
The business, clubs etc that can attend will be represented there and asked to speak during the rally. :P ;)

I think wer'e headed in the right direction.... :D

it may be a little early in the game for you(cp) and the rally, but putting out feelers to the manufactors and business of mining/prospecting equipment might be a good idea. give them a headsup as to the rally, so they could schedule their attendance.the more dealers that show up, the better the turnout!i sent allan of dfs sluices a note about this rally. scott harn is a must(icmj) especilly if scott would do a small artical about the rally.hes good people! and ofcourse the site preperation. clear a camping spots. dealers/food venders row,where they will be setup. campers area. location of port-a-pots.parking for the peole coming to see the rally. a centrall entrance/exit location. this would allow you to maintain some crowd controll . and make it clear to people that dredge/highbank/sluice or just panning, that we are here to show a example to the uneducated folks about small scale miners. if some one comes up to you while your dredgeing/highbanking/sluicing and asks you a question, stop what your doing and answer them,show them what your doing,ask them if theyed like to try it!this simple little act really goes along way when tring to putting small scale mining into a better position to influence the powers tobe!and itll help influence people to understand our position in mining, versis what the enviromental groups are saying! and mostly, remember that there will be enviromental people there just waiting for one of us to make a mistake! watch out for them! if there is a problem,dont argue with them, report it to someone in charge of that area. have the police talk to them. if they harasse/intimadate you, they could go to jail! but be nice!

Excellent ideas Russ.. CP ... One of the besrt ways that I found to publicize the rally to all the GPAA clubs, was to go to the GPAA website, look thru the Affiliated clubs and send an email to any and all clubs that showed either a website or email address... and make sure that you follow up on any replies.... I added a folder in my outlook express that I put all of the replies in.... within that folder, I made other folders that were expressly used for clubs and one for manufacturers replies... I hope this helps...

CP,
Would it help if I took care of the Rally promotion also?, not just on the Website but making cold calls?.

I've got this idea that many of the interested parties that are thinking of attending are going to want to read some of the details.

You may want to dedicate an entire page on your website for Info that people can read more.

Manufacturers:

Mine Owners:

Claim Owners:

Stores Participating:

Clubs Attending:

Volunteers needed for:

************

I don't know if you have already done this, just thinking out loud again....

I'll do whatever I can from the MRT side of things, let me know where to assist.

RP

id also inform the mayor and the town officals, heck personnaly invite them to come see whats up. id also inform the towns businesss of the potential increase in business that YOUR bring into town!!ask if you can advertise in their window of the rally. panning boths are neat. selling ore bags. anything that would generate people flow and cash!
