Vineyard

Well, after speaking with several of the folks who attended the Vineyard Church show, and receiving several emails, it seems unanimous that other than the problems with classing, and with some people (the same old ones) who do not like registering in their own class (some FOREIGN vehicles did not register in foreign, and opted for Special Interest where they do not belong, as usual, as an example), the show, itself, was a spectacular event that was extremely well organized and orchestrated. Even the food was well done and inexpensive. The music uninterrupted by a DJ's chatter. And over and over I heard that the organizers had done a terrific job. They should be lauded for a job well done - especially since their first two shows were unable to get off the ground due to inclement weather.

Reports indicate their judges were well-trained, fair, accurate, used a proper points system and LOOKED OVER EVERY VEHICLE completely, regardless. That is almost unheard of in a judged show in Maine.

They did note the problem areas, and have stated they will work on improving them in the future. And that is the ultimate sign of a very good show - one that is destined to just get better.
