Thanks to the 50 or so "loyals" for attending. Poor attendance for a great party. Like mentioned before, it fell on a night with 2 other banquets going on, but still plenty of race fans and HARF members out there that should have attended. Might be the last one, we'll have to see. Our only purpose in doing the Monte Carlo is to give members an off-season fun event to participate in (like what has been requested by members) & a chance for non-members to attend and join our great club. We have had MANY suggestions on off-season parties to do, and have tried a few, and only our most loyal regulars attend and we lose money on the event. If "HARF's" only real purpose is to save our members money at the ticket gate, that's fine, we will continue to work with all of our local tracks to arrange discounted nights at the races, but as far as "off-season" fun events, we will have to examine the "cost vs. attendance" numbers to determine their usefullness. All i can say is that i had a great time, along with 49 of my closest friends, next is the Banquet, i hope to see you all there, bob black, HARF President.
