the banners and may even get more donations. Like I said it may be "meet" but it is treated and thought of by most as a car show, and maybe it should actually become one that could help. This meet/car show argument is redundant, no matter what you call it people were there to look at cars and this was not something that could easily be done this year, it was a chore to see the nice car amongst a flood to family rides.
I understand cost and I know that plays a huge factor, I don't understand tax law all that much but I know a company can write off donating a vehicle, I would think they could probably write off the usual cost of rent as well if it's a charitable event (do the quote me on this it's an educated guess.) If you fins a place willing to donate their space, you save a major cost. I can't speak to how many places would do this but I have faith that there is at least one. Like I said I'm going to see if I can't get myself involved with next year's event when I get home, 4 guys running this thing is just terrible for them that's to few people things can't be managed well enough when there aren't enough people to do it to begin with.
I've dealt with Hershey before when I worked for tmobile they were very pleasant to deal with, I think they may be willing to help us out. The main issue with them is we will need hardcover douche patrol because they don't play nicely with arrogant asses.

I think you could bring a lot of ideas to to the staff for next year, let's try not to cluster the thread pointing out every nuance that didn't go as planned. I think the staff is well aware of the areas that need attention, and I can also assume that it's some what a bitter experience having people tell them how they should have floated more money or done more being that they did so much already.
