At the end of the day the small guys cannot compete without a dedicated effort from the consumers.   By the way who are the smaller guys?

That's politics behind this show. Big manufactures don't want smaller guys there selling gloves, helmets accessories etc. They want it all. 

What he said above!!

Maybe move it back to the Markham fair grounds where it all started .I did enjoy  the show a whole lot more back then much simpler times sleds were 5000 to 7000 snow every year everyone was excited lol

Thats insane. I wouldnt go again if I lived next door. Even a good food truck area in the parking lot would have been an improvement.
