No one needs to be a martyr here. If it's too stressful, why not pass it on to others to accomplish? Why not have a group of people organize it? If you have a bus then try to have folks reserve their spot by paying in advance? If there is not enough, then cancel the bus and give folks their money back. With an organizing group you can divide up the responsibilities. It could, for example, be someone's job; booking and dealing with the bus. I don't think the "silent Partner" idea is any fun. Why would anyone contribute in this fun event and then have no say in what happens? Those folks could be part of the group putting on the event. Also, the bars and restaurants will love the crowd and will help make the event happen if they are given the chance. Divide and conquer! Its about everyone having fun and everyone getting equal kuddos for a job well done.
