Well Charles,
I think you should get your information straight before you let go with your opinions. But before we start, Did you attend this show? If you did, you not introduce yourself to me. I know you did not bring a restored or in service vehicle to display.
In any case, back to your post. I do not do the promotion or advertising for the show. That is done by the other co-host, Deputy Lucas. It is his event. The show was advertised extensively. A few examples: PC News for a year, Phoenix Republic “Things to do” for six months, flyers were delivered to EVERY police department in the area, (Tucson to Flagstaff) two times. The various departments were also sent notices via inter-agency media. We had flyers at the major auto events in the valley for the last year, this includes Ford, Chevy and Mopar shows along with open marquee events such as the AAHC. Flyers were also at the Fire Muster and numerous cruise nights and benefit car shows. It was also listed on a number of web sites, many of which have a calendar of events. The best suggestion you make is to send out emails to the “masses” so that they can be reminded. Where is this list of people that might be interested in the show? What criteria should I use?
As to your last statement that there was a lot to do that weekend. We know. It was not the weekend we wanted or the one the show has been held on in the past. The venue is booked a year in advance and we live with what we are given. Next year we hope to have it moved up a couple of weeks.
In closing, if you would like to help with the show you would be more than welcome. There are several public safety and auto events this next couple of weeks. We will have a car or two at a couple of them. Bring out one of you cars, park along side and we can enjoy the Valley of the Sun. Deputy Lucas plans to have a car or two out also and I know he is always open for input on his show.

Regards,
Mike
