[Accrs-execs] Petco Show statistics

[ACCRS exec board]

I don't think that we will ever have a good location for these type of 
events.  It was fun to run the trains regardless of the $$$ taken in and 
the low count on visitors.

It would have helped if the gate at our end was open and people came in 
that way.  Worked for us getting in, but no traffic for visitors coming 
in or out.

Well we have a Good Guys coming up and sometime next year we should have 
the Train Show,  Even with the train show, we are not placed well to get 
lots and lots of traffic.
