Is It A Problem?

I am going to put a question to you, something I haven't really done. Its subject is car shows and it pertains to entery fees.

A slight rumble of dissent has been heard from several areas of the state. Enthusiasts are begining to complain that they are being charged to enter a car show and yet the spectators are allowed to enter for free. Hodgman's could be a good example, but this is done at the request of the Hodgman's to allow the show to draw more customers to the Frozen Custard Stand and they donate a very healthy sum at the end of the day to the Knucklebusters.

Is this just a small group of dissenters or are their others that are not speaking up? I know that many times I will ask what the money is going towards if it is not stated in the advertisement for the show.

Is this just a sign of the Economy, giving free admission in hopes of ramping up your food or craft sales as the profit margin is a little bigger? Are these economic times that tough that a $3.00 entry fee will keep a spectator from buying a burned $2.00 hamburger or a nasty ass road kill hot dog?

Here's the Question to answer.

Are you upset when charged an entry fee to a show and finding out that spectators are allowed in for free?

    We aren't upset at all. To us that is what the "show" is all about. Showing our vehicle to the best of our abilities and bringing smiles to the faces of those looking makes it worth "our" expense and time. We wouldn't be doing this otherwise. Certainly we won't get rich, but we will get rich in our hearts - JUST seeing that smile!!

    I agree with the above, and the way I see it is if you don't like the cause the money is going to you are paying 5 bucks for good parking. And where else are you going to have a day of talkin' cars with your friends? $5 well spent.
