Volunteers that are there for setup and/or teardown should get a
camping spot for free. If he was there during that time, he was given
wrong information. He should contact NWEAA for a full explination.

Being a volunteer doesn't mean you get a complete free ride. I've been
going there for years. Even though I can now get in for free, I still
pay for the days I'm there. If everyone got freebies, then where will
the money come from to put on the show?

If there is a shortage of volunteers at any event, then laws of supply and
demand dictate that changes need to be made. When camping requires very
little monetary output by the show organizers, they would be out very little
money by letting the volunteer work a stated number of hours and camp for
free for a day.

They could still pay to get in. It would not be hard to have a ticket given
to a volunteer for working X number of hours, then given to the camping
attendant for N number of free days camping for those hours worked, and
those days free camping refunded.

Some thoughts on the signage. Many places have permanent road signs that
fold in half, and are opened up for the event. Perhaps that could be used
for the sign problem. Also, signs with a picture of an airplane on them and
an arrow showing which way to turn are a common thing in most communities.
It sounds like more are needed. If there were a signpost, it would be a
simple thing to bring out another sign to bolt onto the signpost with the
extra information, such as camping, or general admission parking.
