TodFitch Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Off topic, so maybe I ought to not post. . . But this is another one of those fundraising shows where they raise money by charging the car owners to display their car but allow spectators in for free. I've always thought that was backwards. I don't have a big desire to pay to have my car seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John-T-53 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks for poo-poo'ing the event guys! Don't most shows have entry fees? I think this show specifically doesn't charge entry for spectators is because they're trying to market their facility to prospective students. This facility serves five school districts in the San Jose area in addition to adult ed and career tech education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I support John on this type of show, good causes need support, yet a $2.00 spectator fee wold add to the total gift , encourage car owners, IMO, and is certainly not excessive. On this issue, I carefully pick my show(s). Edited April 30, 2015 by pflaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
