My LineChaser was in the mail at noon.  They had a new name for the Duluth show.  Saw a month or so ago that the Mpls. show would not be held this year.

That's messed up. I'm guessing it just wasn't bringing people in. From going and talking with people it seemed like it was getting smaller...

I was the show chairman for the Bismarck World of Wheels for 14 years and like any other promoter if they don't make money they have to shut it down. They were still making a profit but it was such a small amount they felt it wasn't worth it, and then working with the Bismarck Civic Center building people was another pain in the ass. They also closed Denver CO down about the same time which also help me to feel not as bad. My thinkin' was if Denver couldn't support a car show how could you expect Bismarck too.
