Carlisle Events gives very little to their community. Carlisle Events takes away from the quality of life of those who live in the area.

Bill Miller is a used car salesman. You can hype it all you want, but that is what Carlisle Events is, a used car lot.

Obviously a comment from someone who has no clue about the economic impact the car shows generate for the local and regional area not to mention the contributions made over the years to charities.

Obviously a comment from an employee of Carlisle Events and not a person whose quality of life is impacted by the car shows.

As far as charitable contributions, the owners of Carlisle Events take care of themselves, best, first and foremost. The rest is just public relations spin.

I like all those donations (under $100)Carlisle Events makes along with allowing organizations to use the fairgrounds (as long as they bring in traffic). From the video above, seems like the local hotel/ motels make out. Seems C.E. gets good loans from the hotel operators/ bank board. Do those bank(s) give Bill Miller loans that he pays back??
