Read about new club in Panama City, Fla. and the associated birthing/growing
pains. We started our club in NW Ohio two years ago and are planning our
third show event for June 3. We have obtained a permanent site for the show
and will hold it there in June. We have also established a newsletter and
each event we have held (two per year) gives us more experience to ensure the
following event runs a bit more smoothly. The one problem we can't seem to
overcome is getting enough vendors to attend. We notify a selected number
well in advance of our events but don't receive a good response. I know that
these vendors likely plan their calendar very early for each season, but it is
like pulling teeth to get one or two to agree to come. Any suggestions on
what we might doing wrong or to improve the response? I would have thought
the vendors would have seen this as an opportunity. We are expecting at least
100 cars weather permitting.
