my understanding is that the central person organizing the event (who took over Rick Davis' role) is very sick and the organizing group could not get anyone to take that role. With decreasing participation and sponsorship dropping, I think this event is going the way of the dinosaur.
While I agree that this and the drop in ice fishing on the lake this year will both have very positive impact on the fishery this year...I love the event and look forward to it every Spring. I'm sure retailers in the region will feel the impact but if that impact was very severe...I would expect that this group would have stepped up to make sure the event ran.
