Hi All


I think we set a bad precedence if we start paying to volunteer at fair events. It has a high probability to immediately become the new normal.
I recommend to be closed this weekend.

BTW HO has 1 person signed up Saturday morning and 1 signed up for Sunday...

That's a reasonable question and I've complained back to her about the
cost of getting 5 people per day in there makes the whole thing
economically a non-starter.I suspect a lack of planning on their part,
and I'll bet they didn't talk to the GGs. No vendors set up for that
show without the expectation of making some decent money.We're no
different.

>>About an hour ago, I finally received word from Candice that we can be open for Good Guys this weekend.Bad news is that there will be no passes for either parking or entry.It wasn't clear what attempt she made to ask the Good Guys about passes.The last time we were open for them, the Good Guys were more than happy to provide passes.This will be pursued for the August show.

>>So, if we have enough folks willing to pay to get in and get reimbursed out of what we take in, we can open.However, parking is $10 and entry is $25.So, if you are solo, that's $35.If everyone comes solo and pays $35 and we have 5 people per day, that's $350.Not worth it.I'm open to other opinions, but express them tonight.
