    There are limited people with access to update. Of those people there are even less that know how to update it. Its a case that the limited amount of free time available to the people who can do it has been taken up dealing with other stuff.
    Its kind of temperamental too. Half the time you spend the time to update it, the site throws and error and all the work was a waste. It's unfortunate that we can't update it like it should be, but that's where we're at with it.

    I understand I have gotten error codes also. I was mainly asking because people have been asking me questions about it in reference to the lack of vendors, sponsors ect that is posted....

    Maybe it would be easier to post a thread in the fests forum with pics ect of sponsors ect for springfest so everybody knows whos coming to make it a great event

    Would putting this information on Face book be easier? I have been checking here for new updates also from time to time.

    I think the information is scheduled to go out over facebook with posts every few days, and as the event gets closer there will be more posts. I check facebook, but that's about as involved I get with social media, so I am not sure how all that is set up. I hope to be able to get another e-mail together and sent out before the end of the weekend that will have the vendor as well as sponsor information up to date.

    I guess what i was getting at is..... not everyone likes girs on facebook not everyone has a profile a lot of people are visitors on the site... so they wont get the email nor will they see it on facebook.... if the board needs help with everything since they might be busy just ask... its an event that is not just for members... people who are not members or registered on this site come to the frag shows also.....

    I know at fallfest justin is the one who advertised on craigalist about fallfest and i advertised on facebook in the different groups.... advertising brings more customers for our commercial vendors will benifit them....

    I have more to say on this but i wont... if the board members or the people putting the show on need help just ask us members im sure we will help.

    Lets make this a great turnout for the commercial vendors whoever they are

    Thats a great idea!

    Can someone from the board or whoever is in charge of springfest please pm me all of the sponsors names and vendors so i can create a thread with pics so that it is advertised also i will put it on facebook ect to help promote springfest. I have the time to do so and would like to help since others are busy.

    Or you can text, call 5154512795 or email armydogracing21@gmail.com thanks

    if you send me something to print up,i'd be happy to take it around the iowa city area and post it up,maybe the locale supermarkets as well,i suck at graphic design so someone will need to send or post something to print up.

    Who are the sponsors? Who are all of the commercial vendors? I can see the speakers on the girs event page and 5 vendors but who are the rest so we can advertise it everywhere and i can create a thread on here so that the non members and non refistered people can see whos coming to hype up the event

    Is there raffle items that we can advertise?

    How bout just a list of vendors so at least we know.

    I'll try to get the complete list of vendors, as well as the list of sponsors together.
    I don't see any issues with having people print and distribute the banner. It was made for the club for advertising purposes.

    You may print the banner and distribute it as much as you can. I have been hitting some facebook pages but If someone would like to hit more facebook and Craigslist that would be great.
