However, it soon became evident that the purpose of the "help" was not to
actually help us but was to get us the heck out of there so the "volunteers"
could leave at the scheduled end of the event instead of staying the extra
hour or so.  Even though the event was supposed to go until 5:00 pm, by 4:45
pm, basically all the exibitors had been shuffled out the door!

We are still deciding whether to even attend that event next year.

This goes both ways, there are some events that get downright upset if you even
start boxing up unused rolling stock.

As to whether to attend or not, that one would be a no brainer for me. Unless
you're getting paid or the cause is really really good or you just don't have
many events available to you, you should say no. And you should explain why.

MichLTC is getting to the point where it can be choosy about what events to
attend and behaviour like this is certainly a negative factor.
