Re: Motor Munster greenfield village
I heard the turn out was down alot from, previous years. The powers to be running the car shows for The Henry are not car guys, and are starting to ruin the shows. Like the upcoming Old Car Festival.

Re: Motor Munster greenfield village
There was a lot of talk at the GFV Civil War Weekend that there are new people in charge, and that this year's event may have been the last.

Re: Motor Munster greenfield village
I went yesterday and was GREATLY disappointed!! Compared to the last several years. There was about 300 cars i was told by the lady at the Info desk were i went to complain. Thats about half of the usual participants. My son-in-law shows an all original 67 C/10 with 30k miles . He told me that he was told the entrance app fee was $50 and non refundable even if they reject you vehicle. They are also being more strict on who they let in. I heard nothing positive from any of the participants, guests, or even workers. I'm kinda sorry i kept telling people to attend.

Re: Motor Munster greenfield village
This just came through my email....
Dear Car Show Participant, This year, The Henry Ford implemented changes to our long-running, very popular, mission-driven car shows, Motor Muster and Old Car Festival. Over the years, these programs have grown significantly in terms of participation. Most recently, we’ve had as many as 900 vehicles for each event. However, that unbridled growth posed an increasing safety hazard for participants, visitors and staff, and completely overwhelmed our available parking, staff and other resources necessary to support these events. We needed to right-size these events to address these realities while preserving and strengthening the quality of the visitor and participant experience. To do so, we introduced a number of new practices and procedures that we believed would assist in those efforts. The changes we introduced this year, unfortunately, disappointed many. While we were and remain committed to evolving our car shows to be successful within the practical constraints and concerns identified above, we could have done a much better job of communicating and explaining the need for these changes. That miscalculation on our part had a negative impact on our participants and guests, and for that, we are truly sorry. We’ve received candid feedback from many of you, and we thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. One immediate step we are taking is to make the application fee refundable and to offer each participant up to four guest passes, at their request. We will be working in the coming days, weeks and months on next steps, and we will be corresponding with each and every one of you in the very near future. Your support and your involvement with The Henry Ford is vital to our continued success. I hope you will continue to stand with us as we work to rebuild these events. John Neilson Vice President of Venues The Henry Ford

Re: Motor Munster greenfield village
I'm old enough to remember, when every bloody thing you did in life didn't have to be an EXPERIENCE
goodgod I am hating the modern world more each passing year I went thru some pretty tough medical issues last year. When it was about over I get this stupid survey from the hospital, asking how my EXPERIENCE was. Quite frankly it sucked, it was miserable, and I didn't know I was supposed to be having a good time. I was praying to die at one point. Praying to EXPERIENCE death Now even car shows are 'Did you have a good Model A experience?' Geez. Oh, and have a nice day! |
