CORSA 2012: 2010 Convention Vendors

[David McMillan]

Hi Bob,
That is sound thinking and I understand what you're saying, but have you ever 
been to the Sturbridge Host Hotel?  I believe there is ample room and that 
there should be no problem accommodating any vendors over and above the Corvair 
vendors that typically attend the convention. While we were observing the Olds 
Convention (which by the way had over 400 cars on display in the parking lot), I 
ran across a jewelry/umbrella/fudge vendor in the hallway of one of the 
entrances, just down the hall away from the large exhibit hall where I 
believe we are planning for the Corvair Vendors to be housed. The vendor told 
me they were there all week and they had done very well. They were inside, they 
were out of the way, and there was so much more room available.

Also...
I was trolling a little online and came across this recent posting in an 
Oldsmobile forum concerning the Olds Nationals there (in case there becomes a 
need for extra trailer parking):

A word of caution:

I agree wholeheartedly with Cathy's suggestion that we invite vendors 
who may appeal to the spouses and/or to a wider total audience.

That said, I think we should endeavor to "hold" the space for Corvair 
vendors, releasing available space to non-Corvair vendors only after 
the Corvair-specific vendors have had a suitable period of time in 
which to register.

Y'know, solicit the Corvair vendors at a certain point in time, and 
then, X number of weeks or months later, make remaining space 
available to non-Corvair vendors as well.

This, of course, may make planning somewhat less convenient for the 
non-Corvair vendors, who are likely to have a relatively full 
schedule of events at which they peddle their wares and for which 
they likely sign up well in advance.  But I think we have to do it.
