In principle, I agree with Jim;  we should get compensated for doing shows
because we do draw in crowds...but I also want to run trains.  We just need
to make sure we do get compensated in some form.  I agree with Ira that the
tickets/train rides/etc should be considered compensation.  And the raffle
for this event and the Flatonia event is an excellent way to subsidize our
income..
