Winning big in Vegas
Last week was an exciting time for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the firearms industry. I have been fortunate enough to attend a number of Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trades Shows (SHOT Show) over the years. Not only was this year’s show packed, but I was particularly excited to see more products designed for women on the show floor than ever.
I also attended my first WOMA networking event. 
What a wonderful opportunity to meet members of WOMA and talk about generating exposure for women in the outdoor industry! It was such a pleasure to meet and reconnect with some of the people who have pioneered the way into a traditionally male industry. Though not a huge gathering in number, the event hosted a talented and diverse spectrum of participants dedicated to the goals of The WOMA.
For those who didn’t have the opportunity to attend, Kim Pezzeminti of Doeville.com graciously donated several beautiful door prizes at the event. One of these prizes was a beautiful, bronze and peach, freshwater pearl and antler shed necklace with matching earrings. I admit to fully thinking, “Ooh, pick me!” for the drawing and it must have paid off. I was a very lucky winner, not only for the beautiful jewelry, but for the opportunity to meet others dedicated to promoting women in the outdoor industry.

The door prize items for The WOMA press conference, offered by Kim at Doeville, were awesome! Every one of them had that “personal” touch and I’ve marked the Doeville site as one of my favorites for doing shopping for my daughters, gal pals, etc. And a big CONGRATS to Julie on winning the grand door prize! The jewelry she won will look so good on her; the right colors and everything, like it was meant to be! As a side note we had several new people apply at SHOT Show to become members of The WOMA and next year we’ll make sure the room signage helps folks FIND the event!
