Entry Fee for Beaumiont TX National Show ???
After going to poniesinthepark.com to register for next years national show in Beaumont I stopped dead in my tracks.
$75 with NO early or MCA member discount?? Really guys?
To compare: this years Grand National in Mustang, OK is $60 with a $10 discount for MCA members.
So Beaumont needs to be 50% higher??
Is the cost of your facility out of line?
I also noticed that a vendor space was $50? Someone that's attending to promote/sell a product should be able to pay their fair share. It takes the teamwork of the show organiser, car owners and vendors to put on a successful show
I understand shows are expensive to produce, but the cart needs to be pulled appropriately.
Perhaps hiring someone on a commission basis to sell sponsorships/advertising/vendor space, etc would help bring down your net cost.
My opinion is that your putting too much of the burden of pulling the cart on the car owner.
Just my 2 cents - carry on.
