Are you an avid Alaska Outdoorsman? The Palmer Lions Club 52nd Annual Gun Show will be on March 2nd and 3rd at the Raven Hall in Palmer. The Lions Gun Show is the longest running gun show in Alaska. The show includes over 300 tables of vendors with hunting, fishing, shooting, trapping and much more. It was started and continues to be the Club’s main fundraiser. 100% of all the proceeds go back into helping our community. The Palmer Lions Club makes a huge impact on our community by giving back all money raised to organizations who truly make a difference. The list is long but includes the Salvation Army, the Palmer Food Pantry, Mat-Su Special Santa, Alaska Veterans and Pioneers Home, Mat-Su Food Bank, the local 4-H club, local sports teams from Little League to high school. We support extracurriculars like band and science clubs, reading programs, libraries and much more. The Lions also provide vision screenings at elementary schools/children events and have given out reading glasses at the Project Homeless Connect to those in need. The Lions Club truly helps and focuses on our local community. The gun show is a family friendly show where there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Come join us on Saturday, March 2nd, from 10:00AM to 6:00PM and Sunday, March 3rd, from 10:00AM to 4:00PM at the Alaska State Fairgrounds in the Raven Hall.
One of our big highlights at the show is our annual raffle. The top four prizes include a high-quality Arctic Oven Pipeline Tent, a Tikka 300 WSM, a Springfield Armory Saint AR 300 Blackout Pistol, and a Leupold VX-R 4-12X40mm Scope with Firedot Duplex. We will be selling tickets around the community, so be on the watch to purchase your ticket for a chance to win one of our outstanding prizes. All of the proceeds from the raffle are given to local non-profits to continue the amazing work they do. Come look, trade, swap, and talk shop with numerous vendors. Door prizes given away every hour, and an awesome raffle. Admission is $7.00 per person or buy a 2-day pass for $10. Kids 12 and under are free.
