Hey Al, you left out the gun show and the peep show. Without those I would be a no-show.
On a more serious note, the best turnout our club ever had was when our event happened to coincide with a rummage sale held in the parking lot of the same high school where our bonsai exhibit was staged. We probably had more than a thousand folks stroll through the bonsai show, where our typical attendance is lucky to break a couple of hundred.
I suggested to the powers-that-be that we try to coordinate our next event with the rummage sale folks and they all looked at me like I was joking. I'm thinking we might schedule our own rummage sale next time just to boost attendance. People seem to love a good rummage sale, and if they are already out of their cars, they don't mind a stroll through the exhibit.
Regards,
Matt
