REFLECTOR: Driving to Sun-N-Fun

[Jim Agnew]

Fred,
 
You are being totally unfair, don't you think that SNF expenses have gone up over a year? Taxes, water, electricity, fuel for all of the machinery and vehicles, insurance, etc.   Where in the state of Florida can you park for $5, not at the airport, you need to take out a mortgage, not in Tampa, or at any event I can think of in the area. 
 
They maintain the entire site year round including the Museum, Children's Education center, and all of the other buildings and grounds and their only money making event that they have is the Fly-in. SNF members and volunteers donate a lot of money to help keep the site viable so maybe you should reconsider the costs.

If you are planning to drive to the Sun-N-Fun best pack a lunch.  The management of the of the Sun-N-Fun in their never-ending, undying and limitless greed have decided to once again charge for parking. ($5.00 per vehicle per day or $20.00 for the week)  In years past this fleecing of the flock has resulted in traffic delays of well over a hour.  The individual at the registration desk assured me "this time it would be different" because there would be three people at the gate grabbing the cash. (Did I mention it is CASH only?)  Yeah I've seen that tried before too.  Oh well, perhaps the ever diminishing attendance will help to mitigate the delays.  Geez, the next thing you know they will be charging landing and tie down fees.  Those old boys sure know how to beat a dying horse.

     p.s. I don't think there will be any need for me to buy a week pass.
