Just some thoughts, not complaining in any way, just trying to help.

We came down with a group of 4 jeeps and we all live a little over an hour and a half a way.

Parking - It worked out in the end, but there was a bit of confusion on where to park since we didn't participate in the $15 fee, but instead contributed more to the raffles. My suggestion would be to allow any 4x4 vehicles to park in show area, but designate two areas or have a smaller fee for those not wanting to do the RTI, car crush etc. Maybe I am cheap, but at least throwing $20 in the raffles, I felt like I had a chance at something, as I am sure I wouldn't have won anything in the show.

Promoting - I think your best bet at generating more for the charity is increasing attendence. Get people out with flyers to other events in the area. If you have flyers done earlier, I can get them out to the Rally for Life in May, which we are pushing around 200 jeep in attendence. Most people are going to come in willing to spend a certain amount, so I don't think trying to get more out of those that attend is going to get you very far, but getting more in attendence will.

Food - Sorry, we took a break in the A/C and went to Yardbirds. It was a great idea to have food on site and the cost was reasonable.

Raffle - We generate a lot from raffle at the Rally for Life. More prizes, big prizes, more chances to win, really increases ticket sales. I think we do $1 a ticket or $10 for arms length.
