Re: Pull O'Keefe Ranch funding and fund new hockey rink
Geez I remember when O'Keefe ranch was doing so well they chased off the vintage motorcycle ralley and the Mopar car club ralley.
The ranch is run by a bunch of morons. Period. Sure the bikes and Mopars are back but there just isn't anything really going on there anymore. They need a theme every weekend, be it steam powered equipment, vintage cars, bikes etc. ALso not just static displays, but moving, running LIVING displays. That is what made the vintage motorcycle ralley so successful in the first place. Where else could you see, feel and smell WW1 era motorcycles in the flesh?

Calling yourself a libertarian today is a lot like wearing a mullet back in the nineteen eighties.

If I am not mistaken, the ranch is run by a non-profit society. If you want change to happen, you should become part of what makes those changes become reality.

I wonder if extended hours would help. A lot of people would prefer to be outside in the evenings when it's a bit cooler and some might only have the choice of evenings due to work.

That would necessitate more employee hours and perhaps expensive upgrades to lighting.

So being a non-profit means it is either 1) run by nobody or 2) exempt from being run by morons?
Like I said, THE RANCH IS RUN BY MORONS.

Well the idiots are at it again. Let's change a successful event so people won't want to come. Talk in the vintage/classic motorcycles circles are this event is going to be a bust due to the addition of classic cars! Rumour is the dirt track racing might not even go ahead for the m/c! Why change what was working? I see there is no Mopars at the Ranch either this year. I guess those guys brought too many people in.
I guess the doll exhibition will more than make up for it.
