I owned an advertising business for several years and understand how it all works. . Advertising will undoubtedly help build attendance BUT York is not a totally open meet but now a combo of a public vs private event. You can be successful advertising it as such and opening the two dealer halls to the pubic can prove a positive but the restriction on days must be lifted. If you are trying to reach the public you must open both halls for the entire meet otherwise the effort will prove totally useless. On the plus side if you open the two halls to the public, you may be able to increase memberships to the TCA from non-members that are curious about what goes on in the other 5 halls and want to shop there. I do not see a $14 public admission cost for a family as a big problem but it is a higher price than all the other trains shows.
