I have been following some info about the Fab Fords Show at Knott's Berry Farm... Apparently the clubs that run the show are, eh, having issues among themselves. This is not new but appears to be boiling over.

Quote from Jon Schultz... "I have been on the Knott's Fab Ford show committee for over 15 years. Thankfully, I missed this one. Political in fighting, dictorial implosion, and a letter that you have to read to believe. The way I heard from several others, the whole room was divided, and our partner Ford had no idea what to do (FYI to those who wish to promote car shows- if you are ever graced with Ford as a sponsor....where they actually attend your meetings... my suggestion would be not to fight with each other while Ford is in the room.e all there in the room hopefully the show can go on and be successful in spite of itself. However, it is hard to see the show slowly dying or at the least, becoming irrelevant"

Jon is the president of Beach Cities Mustang Club "Queen Mary Show".

Funny how this is exactly like what has happened here in the valley... For those who know me know exactly what I'm talking about... They say they want younger folks taking over and bringing new ideas in but will never let that strangle hold they have go... When money becomes more important than everything else in a club, well that's a lose / lose situation....

A few years back I made the suggestion to sponsor the "Hositality Suite" Saturday night at the Fab Fords hotel, it went from about 10 people sitting on a couch to well over 100 laughing, talking and meeting new friends. It was too much for the old guard, they wanted quiet "Us Only" type atmosphere and they got it.. The show was way down this year.. It wasn't because of the non existent hospitality suite, as you can see the attitudes are effecting the whole experience...

Food for thought folks....
