[Farmall] Red power attendance

[Mike Schmudlach]

The shows are not kept a secret.
In the last Harvester Highlights they even list the next  RPRUs.
PA in 2007 and Missouri in 2008.
2009 has not been voted on yet.
Iowa, SD and Wisconsin are all bidding on it.
One of the problems with IHCC is that most IH Collectors are not members.
Redpower magazine has a circulation of 2 times larger than
the membership of IHCC (less than 7,000).
I learned that when we put on the Winter Convention in 2005 people got
really confused when we started promoting it more than a year in advance.  I
guess they couldn't figure out that the 2005 in our promotion meant 2005 not
2004.   I also had some guy write to me complaining that he would of come if
we had advertised.  He told me that Redpower magazine would list our event
for free.
When I told him we were listed in the magazine for almost 2 years and had a
2 page ad for 4 issues, he told me I was full of it.  I told him to check it
out and get back to me.   I could not believe all of the people who told me
that they didn't know about the convention.  How much advertising does a
person have to do.
If people want to know what is going on with IHCC they should join. It is a
mere $15 for national and $10 for most state chapters.
