The National Rifle Association has announced the return of The NRA Foundation’s Friends of NRA Banquet and Wall of Guns events at the 2023 Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, February 4-12.

The Friends of NRA Banquet will be held Thursday, Feb. 9 in the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex’s PA Preferred Ballroom. The night of entertainment begins with doors opening at 5 p.m., and chances to win custom firearms, unique merchandise, and tailored hunts while enjoying dinner with other Second Amendment enthusiasts. The banquet will raise money for national, state and local programs that support America’s shooting heritage. Numerous table and sponsorship packages available; individual tickets are $65 and couple tickets are $120.

The NRA Foundation’s ever-popular Wall of Guns event returns to the Great American Outdoor Show this year thanks to Weatherby, the official event sponsor. Located at booth 39 in the complex’s main hallway, the event will run each day of the show. At $10 a ticket, a winner is drawn for every 100 tickets sold. Lucky winners may choose a firearm from more than 40 different makes and models. There are a number of different ticket packages, ranging from $10 to $1,000, some of which include a limited-edition Wall of Guns T-shirt, donated by Nine Line Apparel. All net proceeds from the Wall of Guns will benefit The NRA Foundation, the country’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports.

The Great American Outdoor Show celebrates the outdoor traditions treasured by millions of Americans and their families in a 650,000 square foot exhibit space that will feature more than 1,000 exhibitors, including shooting manufacturers, outfitters, boat and RV dealers, hunting and fishing retailers, and much more.
