: The heat took its toll on all in attendance as contestants, photographers, videographers, and spectators were adversely affected by the torturous heat. The 105+ temperatures and extreme humidity really limited the activity of the platform posing pros who quickly became extinct as the temperature soared. Wish I had caught a shot of an escort guy carrying a heat-stroke girl into the air conditioned trailer to revive her. Global Warming or whatever, this show should be moved to June or September.
: I also strongly feel NAP and their Paying Pro shooters have hired a consulting firm on how best to prevent ANYONE ELSE from getting a decent view of the Pit Show. Benches barricade 3 sides of the stage, while unnecessary Security Dorks (with apologies to fireman Bill, hope you are not one of them) run constant interference for all but their Paying VIP Shooters from DreamGirls etc., who effectively block the 4th side of the stage. And this year the Hose Boy was constantly blocking each girl from view from all but the VIPs. He could easily sit low on the stage and do his squirting, but this year he kept the hose within inches of each contestant's skin, annoying MANY of the spectators who's view was blocked.
: When the National Weather Service has issued health warnings about the heat, the folks at Ponderosa had NO BENCHES available within their picnic shelter forcing anyone who could get inside to escape the fatal sun, to sit uncomfortably on the dirty concrete floor or stand up while exhausted. In the past we could find a shady bench in the pit area, now that is under terrorist security guard except during the pit show, and it is immediately cleared afterward for no apparent reason. Personally, I have had enough of their intentional abuse and they will not be selling me any more tickets.

Thank you for the comments. I was incharge of the area by the pavillion where the fire department was. Usually we have picnick benches but we were poor on the planning this year. I was not at the pit so I take no offense. I will pass along your concerns of the security blocking the view. Please foreword ideas and suggestions to me so we can make the show better each year. I hope you will reconsider next year and give us another chance. We cant control the weather. I have no power to change things but I am in a position to present ideas and concerns. Let's face it, this a money making venture. If people are unhappy they will not come back. That's not what we want...................................................fireman-bill
