Pentaxians in Minnesota unite!

I thought I would see if I could generate interest in a Pentax club,group,get together in Minnesota. Probably mostly around the Twin Cities. I have no format in mind, just want to see if there is interest. If I find interested people I will organize.
So us downtrodden Pentax users can unite!
OK I am not serious about rebellion, time to LOL

Anyone who comes to Minneapolis/St. Paul is welcome to contact to find good photo op in the general area. Heck, being retired, I would even welcome the opportunity to show a fellow Pentax buff around in my vehicle.

I thought there was a Minnesota Social Group but it looks like there isn't. So I went and created one. Minnesota Pentaxians join up! We can use the group to better organize outings like this.

Welcome Wolffy. Hope you aren't busy today, otherwise you can come join in with the rest of us Pentaxians and future Pentaxians here in Minnesota with this meeting.

"July 17th, 6-8pm at Hilton Minneapolis Hotel. 1001 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403

Join PENTAX for a hands-on experience with the brand new K-30. Learn about the impressive features of the K-30 that make it stand out from the competition. Demo cameras including the K-30, Q, K-01 and 645D will be at each event as well as some of our best glass. We will give away an Optio WG-2 at each tour stop as well as a special offer on the K-30. Attendees can also enter to win our grand prize—a K-30. The drawing for the K-30 will take place August 9th."

No Wolfy you do not need anything to get in, it's a event set-up by Pentax as they are doing a tour right now and today happens to be the day they do it in Minnesota, the tour is to get people to know more about Pentax and for existing Pentaxians to explore new cameras and existing lenses. They'll be showcasing the K-30, 645D, K-01 and possibly the K-5 for people to try out and feel as well as a variety of lenses which I am predicting are DA*'s, DA/FA Limiteds, and WR's. Alongside with that they'll be giving out a Optio WG-2 at the event, and for all the tours they do which is probably around 10-12, one person from all the combined tours will win a K-30. So yeah, you basically just go and show, don't need a ticket or anything.
