Finally heard from Ron Cates on this event. It looks like he is going to be bringing this event here even though it's on the same weekend as our Annual Pulte cook-off.
As you can imagine, I have some very strong feelings about this, specifically about how unprofessional it is for another Promoter to come into our area without checking to see what we have planned and how to make it work.
Since KCBS won't sanction 2 events in the same town on the same weekend, they are going with their own sanctioning and not KCBS. (Supposedly)
This is a one time event, Pulte will be a 4th Annual. If we let them come in here, it WILL affect our relationship with Pulte and with all of our events. If our events & Sponsors don't think we will be loyal to them, we won't be able to get anyone to sponsor or put on these events.
Needless to say, I don't think this will be good for the company they are representing as I think the media backlash would far outweigh the benefit to them, but I guess we shall see how it all pans out.
Hope for the best, I know I am..
