Boy things have changed since my chapter put on a convention. $100K ! Maybe but you should be able to do it much more reasonably. Did you say $65 just to walk around the car show or flea market? Does that include the $39 you have to pay to become a member? How do you draw locals/non members who might want to join? I haven't been to a lot of convention but I have been to about 10 and no one ever asked me to prove I belonged there except showing a ticket for some special function. Most areas in these locations are open to the general public anyway. The host hotel isn't going to throw you out. You might be there for some other business. I thought these conventions were to bring Pontiac fans together for fun and sharing info not to make POCI/ chapter a ton of money.
