Gar: Yup...I have your number from the list.
I think October will be too cold, too wet, and too late. I would have liked even earlier in the year, but it's cutting it too close.
As far as food etc. is concerned...one thing is that we would need plenty of volunteers from the Club to come out and man those stations in order to make it work. People would have to prepare all that food, bring all the equipment (tent, tables, food, condiments, cash float, etc.) to the show and then sort it out and clean up afterwards. IF we do go with a charitable organization, I understand the old shows had this, then we don't have to worry about any of that and it gives a charity with a good cause a chance to get some revenue.
As far as the raffle goes, that would be easy enough to do 50/50...or as someone suggested a 50/25/25. (50% to the winner, 25% to a charitable organization, and 25% to the Club). Don't forget we want to sell t-shirts with the great logo that Deny came up with. We should probably get that going soon...as soon as we all know that the date is finalized.
As far as insurance goes...will it be made to Coastal Cruisers as a club? I've never done this before, so I don't know. If it does, then I guess Steve will have to take out that policy since he's the head honcho?
