    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Thanks Shadera. While I am not the one who did the website nor am I the promoter of the show I am trying get the word out there too. The more bodies, be it vendors or customers, the better the show will be.

See you in less than a month. :thumbsup:
 
Ok so I was looking at this show thinking that it is a new show and it was not that long that Kelly and I were at the point of starting a new show. As a show promoter Kelly and I fell that all the promoters should be working together to make great shows that do not step on each other and give the reptile loves a lot of really good shows to go to.
First off I have no problem with there date. Sometimes there is just no way around that. We have the same thing with our show and another so in the area. We worked very hard not to pick that date but there was just nothing that we could do about it.
So if I was someone that was starting a show the last thing that I would want anyone to think about me is that I am a thief. Kelly worked very hard to make great rules that would work for the venders and us and she worked hard to make a very user friendly registration form, so to go and steal many of our rules, word for word and to change the vendor registration form so that our name and dates are off of it and your name and dates are on it is just not how things are to be done.
Bottom line: we are straight up front caring people and would have loved to help these people or anyone in any way we can to start a new show. But come on really stealing our stuff and not even asking if you can use it, that is as low as some others we have had dealings with.
Part of me feels good to know that our stuff is good enough for someone to steal but the other part of it really pisses me off that some could be so low to do that.
I do hope that this is a good show and that there will be many years of good shows.

O.k
So I though we took care of this matter the professional way when your wife contacted me personally, and I cant believe that I have to explain myself again...especially to people who proably don't care, but here we go.
As I explained, we had someone draw these documents up for us, where they got the format I still do not know.
I have been in the promotion industry for well over 10 years now, what appears on our forms are pretty standered, it is an overall protection clause for not only the promoters, but vendors, and the venue as well.
The apology I sent your wife stated that we are correcting the situation, we apologize, and were very sorry. As I stated to your wife, I understand and I would also be angry if someone stole what I had worked so hard on without my permission.
Do you honesty think that we would post something that was "stolen",on an internet site that would be visited by people within the same circle that it was "stolen" from.Comon man, I don't know a whole lot about theivery, but it seems to me if we knowingly stole these forms, we would want to hide it from the people it was stolen from !
Anyway, this issue has been addresses twice now, I have to say that I am embaressed that I had to address this in a public forum, I have never delt with a business person that would pull a high school antic like this. I assure everyone that does business with C.B.E. any conflicts will be delt with personally, thats professional.
Anyway, I apologize again to the promoters of the Central PA show, had we known this problemwith the forms exhisted,they would not have been submitted to vendors or made avaliable to the general public. If you would like to discuss this matter further, feel free to contact me personally.

Mr. Unger

It seems that after I posted this here you and Mrs. Kordek did talk through e-mails. You did say that you where sorry for what has happened and that you would take care of it.

Now for some other things in reply to your post, and I will say them here because I have no problem at all with the world knowing what I am doing and how I am doing it. I have no problem with this because I have nothing to hide from anyone.

All I really know to say here is, I have seen others do it.

I am sorry to hear that you think this is a "high school antic" to you. Not really sure how you would feel that way but I guess.

As a professional business person, not only is it our duty it is our responsibility to see to it that all of the information that we put out there is true and original.

From this point forward I will leave this issue for you to handle if you so feel you need to with Mrs. Kordek in any means that you feel is best.

We do wish you all the luck with your shows and if there is anything that we could do to help your shows grow and become bigger please feel free to contact us at any time.
