The event will be to celebrate Illinois and Wisconsin working together for Right to Carry. It will also be a general opportunity for members of various groups, discussion boards, etc to meet one another.
I'd like all groups to have representatives down there with their banners like the ones we had up in Sussex/Waukesha.

Litter cleanup along Riverside Rd (we will stay outside of school zones and mark them off). We will also be picking up litter in the park and depending on time possibly sticks/leaves. If you can bring a rake, you should do so just-in-case. Local police have been very friendly and helpful and have worked with us to ensure a fun and safe event for everyone. The township has also given us the OK on the road/park cleanup and is providing reflective vests/bags/etc.
Bring the whole family and come out for a fun event! Beloit is right on the IL/WI border just north of Rockford and is a very short drive for anyone in northern Illinois!! Don’t miss out on the first major event of Illinois and Wisconsin firearms owners working together to better our communities.
Open carry is highly encouraged but not required of course. If you’ve never open carried, check out our forum and talk to other people. No permit, no license, nothing is required to open carry in Wisconsin except a pistol and a holster – make sure both are totally exposed at all times and never concealed. Keep your gun unloaded and in a case and out of reach while driving in Wisconsin – do not open carry in a vehicle. When you arrive at the park you can load up and holster your sidearm.
Dinner after event: We will be having dinner at an open carry friendly establishment in Beloit. The location of the dinner after the event is to-be-announced.
