The Central Maryland Friends of NRA banquet is March 27, and the committee has good reason to be excited about this year's event: NRA President Ron Schmeits is keynoting.

Pictured above, members of the volunteer committee chat with attendees at the NRA Great American Hunting & Outdoor Show this past weekend in Carroll County, Maryland.

Held at the Pleasant Valley Fire Department, the event kicks off at 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 27.

Individual tickets are $40, and couples are $75. Sponsorships are also available. Interested in attending this Friends of NRA event? Not to worry -- just email the committee at mdfNRA@hotmail.com.
