i dont think it is out of line at all.
my only suggestion is that in the future, when you know of upcoming events in your area, post info about it in the appropriate forums here. for example, this event you could have posted in shotgunning, waterfowling, and the wisconsin forum.
you never know when posting info like that may help a newbie discover a lifelong love. :wink:
btw, i see your from wisconsin....be sure to stop by the wisconsin forum now and then. i am looking at putting together an event in the future for folks in our region. check in now and then for info.
