I agree with Mike. I consider every Show and Shine a "volunteer" event.
The saying "you get what you pay for" - for which you paid nothing - comes
to mind. I just drove 150 miles to a Show and Shine over the weekend and
paid $15 to get in, and got a $3 dash plaque (weehoo). My pay offs are the
smiles that people get seeing the old iron still on the road.
