i know about the fires, still sucks that if i brought a enclosed firepit i cant have a small log or two fire. i understand no bomb fires but come on.
the harley rendezvous staff has as much free as paid. i know people who have done stuff for all events (rendezvous, trail rex, and camp bisco)
that being said, they did say camp bisco was paid but others were not, just a shirt, free entry, and w.e else.
im sure some are paid, but what im saying is if hes not making money its there own fault wether it be poor management, poor event scheduling, etc. people love the event if people arent going its most likly because its being run and managed poorly.
some security and insurance is still low overhead when every person, truck, camper, and atv pay a fee to get in.
