Hi Steve, nearly 20 years ago when a group of us started Englands biggest
Engine rally with almost no funds.
As the show got larger in later years we were looking for funds. I arranged 
with a large local engineering tools firm to let him erect a large tent near the arena.
He was allowed to give free entry passes to his potential customers & he gave them 
drinks & food in the tent. His top sales staff also attended.8^)
For two years he paid well for the privilege & the people who got the free passes were 
not our usual visitors.
Why not see if it works over there?
