I think it's a great idea to have more shows on the yearly calendar. Not only does it let more people know about the hobby, but it also let's people have the opportunity to see each other more often, get deals that they usually wouldn't, see things they wouldn't see on a normal basis along with all the fun events that happen throughout the shows. I know I've found some great deals at the shows in the last two years and I appreciate everyone that I've met and dealt with. It's been nothing but great!
For some people they get a table to make some money and then you have people that go to check out the show and start to learn about what it is. That's the beginning of possibly a new member, someone new that would enjoy what we already enjoy and who knows what that could blossom into.
We are keeping the hobby going. It isn't one person, it's everyone working together! We have people that do lots of stuff behind the scenes and we have people that do a lot more online that is shown. We all have a part and we're the driving force. It's all about fun and that's the main point. Share it with others, keep the history going, the fun and more. I always think about Steve's F.U.N Pledge every year at the summer show. It's so awesome and that's exactly how every show should be and I'd like to say everyone's mindset.
KEEP HAVING FUN!!
