Bill,

Please elaborate!  At our show the same ones unpack everything for the show, 
put up fences, mow, layout grounds and put up ropes, help park exhibitors, 
register and give out badge bags, collect entrance fees from spectators, put out 
and collect trash cans, fix food, take everything down and pack away for next 
year, etc., etc.  Can't seem to get anyone else interested in working 14 hours 
a day for 3 days to put on a show.  Most of the worker were retired when we 
started 13 years ago, getting worn out, and unless we get people interested in 
working the show it will fold in the next few years.
