To add to my previous comment... The 1st year there were nicer cars/trucks/vans in the parking lots than there were inside the event the 2nd year I went...
I completely understand why they've cancelled the rest of the year's activities and are (I'm sure) scaling back next years events as well. Another by-product of the economic down-turn. I don't remember the last major recession affecting me very much (early 90s) because I was too young to know what was going on and for the beginning of the 2000s I was still in college so everyone I knew had no money.
Now it's a different matter. I can't make any of the meets 90 miles down the road b/c of the cost of gas, oil (for PM work), groceries, and health care costs. Let alone drop another $60 for tickets to an event for my family.
