I know your job lets you get around the country a lot and if you are ever spending the night in the Elk City area pm me or something and you will have a place to star gaze and a scope to use if you don't have yours with you and congrats on the little one on the way.

Re: Astronomics Grand Opening door prizes [Re: rockethead26]       #5448980 - 09/30/12 06:47 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Unfortunately, no. Local folks for the most part, which is surprising, as we had a good percentage come in from out of state -- Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska, Arizona, and more. We had about 600 people come through, based on the number of filled-in prize drawing stubs.

Still waiting on lenses after being told they are almost done, or they are in our hands. I now feel like a total *BLEEP* as they still are not done and we have unintentionally mislead consumers due to promised delivery dates that have never been fulfilled. The only update I have is "pending" from the optical house after months of promises. Post Extras:       JimMo I'd Rather Do It Myself Reged: 01/08/07 Loc: Under the SE Michigan lightdom... Re: Astronomics Grand Opening door prizes [Re: Astronomics]       #5449276 - 09/30/12 09:58 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Congrats on the new store Michael. My wife and I were in OKC this past Spring for my son's graduation and we had planned to stop in Norman on out way to Dallas to catch a plane, but we were running late. Don't know when I'll get back to check out the new digs but we'll continue to purchase online.
