I posted the message below in response to an earlier thread. I'm posting it here in a new thread as well in hopes you will join me in voicing your opinions as well. I'd love to see Allen get the recognition he deserves for his incredibly positive contributions to the haunt industry!
Allen,
My friend, you have soooo much knowledge and talent that it just blows me away! If you took all your tutorials and all the tips and insights you've consistently shared over the years and put them into one package, I'd pay top dollar for it! Seriously, you are a haunted attraction business encyclopedia Allen! You have an incredible wealth of experience and knowledge! You've been in this industry longer than most anyone I know and you somehow have managed to avoid the politics and the drama. You're also one of the easiest people in this industry to sit down and have a real conversation with. I'm inspired by you Allen and I'm proud to call you friend!
To Transworld and MHC board members, to IAHA, HHA and/or HAA and everyone in the industry... is there going to be a recognition award this year for Haunt Industry MVP (Most Valuable Person) or Friend to the Industry? I know in the past the association has given Lifetime Achievement Awards. I think it would be a great idea to have a MVP Award or something similar and I'd personally like to nominate Allen Hopps! He would be an excellent candidate for Lifetime Achievement and MVP!
