duckman903 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I 'd like to go but when I saw that it was $70.00, it's a no go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 We always try to price the meets so we just break even. Sometimes we make a few hundred dollars on a meet, sometimes we loose money, but in general we come out even. With tent rentals, demonstrator fees, food, dumpsters, etc. balanced against expected attendance it can be a guessing game sometimes. The Spring Meet will probably be a working meet (no demonstrator to pay for) at our teaching shop in Brentwood, NH, so the price should be much lower. See you there!

notownkid Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 somewhere there is a credit card ad that lists expenses and end up with saying the experience was "Priceless". That is how I've felt after attending a few NE Blacksmiths events. I noticed one thing not noted by Judson "Insurance". We all know that expense. While $70 is a lot of money I have spent more and got a whole lot less in the end. I'd like to thank Kundle for making the trip from DE no easy feat. and Duckman I also understand the expense for those of us on Fixed Incomes. I've never been disappointed in one of NEB's meets.
