There's one problem with this logic. If the vintage events were so wildly
profitable for the region, how come we only got one date on the calendar.
If they figured they had a cash cow on their hands, they would have given
us more dates. I heard there were 2 planned, but one got snatched away.
I think we only had 1 event last year too.
