The subjects were the Good Guys show and Fair passes. First the Good Guys show the weekend after next. She is pretty sure we will be able to open, but wants to confirm that visitors will be able to exit the back door and turn left. Also, to quote her, <blockquote type="cite">Concerns have been expressed with having folks on grounds the Friday before the event. Vendors are setting up and there are a lot of items out on grounds. Many of the participants do not want anyone on grounds after the vendors have started set up. Can you reschedule or skip your regularly scheduled Friday night meetings on the Friday before GG shows to help alleviate these concerns? </blockquote> After telling her that is when we do our final clean up and set up, I suggested we might be able to do that on Thursday night. That should work for most of us. If not, there's always Wednesday. She hasn't answered the question of how we get into the show. Hopefully that will come with her confirmation that we can be open. In the meantime, we should get the sign up sheets posted this Friday. On the subject of badges vs passes for the Fair, I quote her: <blockquote type="cite">I have been asked to obtain a schedule for the Train Club. We need to know how many members will be working and how many days each of those members will be working. That info is needed to make the badge vs. ticket decision.</blockquote> She later added that it could be a combination of badges and passes with those working 10 or more shifts getting the badges. So, the scales need to get their sign up sheets posted and membership needs to sign up as early as possible. We really need everyone to do their part. The fair left this to the last minute, which makes this difficult. The Fair starts on Friday the 14th. It would be good to pass out the badges/passes on the previous Friday, the 7th. To do that, we will need our numbers by the previous Friday, May 31. There has been a lot of effort expended by folks to improve our "act" this year. Let's not drop the ball at fair time. Thanks.
