Sacramento based Capital City Mopars Day in the Park October 4th

We had resistance from some club members with the new way of processing the Pre Registered participants. The woman in the club that suggested it is a member of another club with new Chargers, Challengers, Magnums and 300s. Their club is almost exclusively online and mostly pre-registered so their events don't need as many volunteers to run.
Therein lies the problem that many clubs do have....finding people that will step up and volunteer to work the show. It is because of this that so many shows use that bullshit Participant Judging routine.
We used to cook the burgers and hot dogs for our show and it was a good money maker. It got harder to get people to run that part because it really is a lot of work from shopping for the food, transporting it and all the cooking supplies to the park, setting everything up, taking money, cooking, serving, clean up and stowing away everything after the show is done. In 2021 and 2022 the shows were held at an Elks Lodge and the conditions there were that the Lodge did the cooking and kept the money. In 2023 we were back at Hagen Park in Rancho Cordova. We called in food trucks from that point.
Our "master negotiators" of the club don't even charge the trucks anything...other shows do but for some reason, we don't. Maybe Sacramento isn't big enough to support the financial targets the catering truck folks need. It seems that if the trucks make money, they should pay something. The swap meet vendors do, the show car owners do too.
