I suspect the cost was prohibitive as Nanci Nellis and Molly Snyder pursued the other route of hot wiring the building, which I do believe violates the County contract-Kris The RV rally did in fact bring in generators.....their function was completely surrounded by their purpose, RV's so it was part of the contract to have them. The GSDCA function is a dog show.....generators were not part of the contract and there could have been an issue getting them. I don't know, I never checked. I have no idea what the costs would have been. After having had the letter request from our pres then hung to dry on that one, I was not going to do anything else in negotiations with the place without direction from the show chair, who in fact makes arrangements for the national. Her job. Nanci and I are not electricians, guaranteed. She did not pursue hot wiring (whatever that is) the building. The management suggested this route so the generator issue was moot. I know Nanci liked the idea and that is how it came to fruition. I sincerely doubt SMG would include this in their addendum knowing it would be violating any contract. As I mentioned, they are in good faith working to make this national work for everyone.
