<VV> Concours first? (was: Iowa Convention Schedule)

[airvair at earthlink.net]

And your problem is.......?

A question of theoretical imagination, or one that is real and causing a
"major difficulty" in this year's scheduling? And if it's real, please feel
free to explain in detail. Include as to why the convention schedule
couldn't be adjusted and set so as to still accomodate having the concours
before any moving event.

Heck, we've already accomodated the whiners who had complained about the
convention being "too long" by hacking off, er, scheduling the "People's
Choice" car display/concours to "outside" (or should I say, at the end) of
the convention schedule. Wonder how many are going to "stick around" for it?

To me (and maybe a lot of others) the Banquet ENDS the convention.
