Car shows- Something does not make sense

I've always felt the same way, I don't mind paying $10.00 if the money is going to charity. That being said, I haven't entered any shows in probably 5 years now, I would rather walk around and see what's there, take pictures of the ones I find interesting, and leave. Tired of sitting around in the hot sun for hours and have no real interest in a trophy that will just be a dust collector.
