But Evan, you only mentioned ONE performance venue out of MANY performance venues! What about those competing in agility, rally, tracking, etc etc etc? As a participant in most of those sports, if I can help with set up and tear down, I do, and so do many of my friends. In fact, I'm going home to WI for a couple weeks at the end of the month to visit and to watch my club's agility trial. I am not entered and likely will not be....but I'll be helping set up and tear down, the way I always do. And I'm driving up all the way from Virginia to do it! That's dedication!
