how long has this trend been going on with your event? What have they done
to advertise and reach out to other car clubs? Surely, a one year downturn
did not doom this event? Our ABFM, was washed out two years ago, and vendor
count was down this year, but it still had a strong turn out of cars and
folks.
I hope the event can continue at some time soon.
They might try moving the event into San Jose......
