Nooooooooooooooooo.........it's so much easier to have the grounds set up for multi events than gather all of the volunteers, food, potties etc., needed for just one day. Also, many times the fee for the second day's rental (or third) of the grounds is discounted. And, if you pick your judges correctly, IMO the specialties will help the F/Ms and visa versa.
