DTGCA gun show attendance has ex-

ceeded expectations in 2017, which is

outstanding news. Many shows, includ-

ing 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 focus-

ing their advertising dollars on market-

ing 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 dur-

ing 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.

2017 has been a remarkable year! We finally have a true 2nd Amendment

Advocate in the White House and the DTGCA shows are seeing REC-

ORD setting attendance!

Sincerely, Brandon L. Maddox

President DTGCA

bringing it to my attention.
