[Accrs] Circus Vargas

Wed Aug 15 19:40:53 PDT 2018

I was gone a couple weeks in July.  When I saw your request for us to 
host a Saturday run, I forwarded it to Dick, your trainmaster.  I 
suggest you work it with him.  I just explained the Good Guys 
situation.  I announced at the BBQ that it didn't look like we were 
going to be open for the August show and the second hand info you had 
was correct at that time.  However, I've kept working on it with input 
from other members.  The Good Guys primary mission when they rent the 
whole fairgounds is their show.  If they need space they have rented and 
it shuts us off, we are not their primary concern.  If they didn't need 
that space, we'd still be open for their show.  When I talked to her 
Tuesday, Candice said she'd try our suggestion with them and see if they 
agree.  No answer yet.  The Scottish games have never been a problem and 
I hear rumors that we are probably not welcome.  They have never and are 
not this year open on Friday night.  The Circus is not an issue per 
Candice.  She hasn't been able to get in touch yet with the Good Guys 
and is on vacation until Monday when she will try again.  All I saw 
today on e-mails was speculation on several events not grounded in 
reality.  My comments were not aimed at anyone in particular, but those 
in general who send this stuff around.
