Anyone else notice this about the Games lately?

[hospitaller]

And any thoughts on how to get the games and festivals more well attended?

Reduce gas prices and you'll get more public.

We've had the same problem for our WW2 Reenactments.
They usually involve driving about a minimum of 150 miles, plus the expense associated with the event itself (piro, ammo, giveaways, etc.), so the number of reenactors is down to about 50%.

Thus, the same problems affect the attending public.

Just another unfortunate byproduct of the economic situation.

Not unfortunate. Rather culpable.
Hard to keep from going political.
NEITHER party is addressing the problems in the bipartisan way that is needed.

Neither party has the desire to limit the money they get from the "special interest groups"......... If yer a politician, it ain't about the people anymore.
It has everything to do with your own little bank account, and how you can get it to grow (John Q. Public be hanged!).

Gents,

Let's try to keep this thread on-topic, please, and resist the temptation to discuss politics.

Thanks!
