I don't think so.  I think that you and Ken and Dave and the rest of the
publicizers did an excellent job of getting the word out.  Cripes, we even
got entries from as far as Indonesia!  I really think the problem lies
with the general apathy of people.  In addition to the aforementioned
examples in the last message, I could not motivate anyone in either my
local club, Portland, or Vancouver to enter.  That's three big areas with
more than a few plant fanatics.

So, this is why I'll be OK if we get 50 entries; that's a "minimum" for
me.  That's a good number to have some diversity and be judged.  I will be
pissed if we don't get 50.  If we get 100, I'll consider it a big success 
(and that 3/4 of the entrants are last-minute'rs).
