This is what I have been suggesting and why I wanted to change the Stewart setup. Hopefully this will encourage more participation in our events.
The thing is, between April 1 and December 1 you can do the same thing anywhere. Pick any weekend, and there are 2-7 events within a 200 mile radius. I know we have this conversation all the time. And we can talk until we are all blue in the face. But we changed Stewart and it seemed to be better. Next year we'll change all our formats. If people stop coming, then we bag the product. I mean, it is what it is. If the format is dying then we move on to something else.
