Wildwood boat show is sunk by economy

The latest victim of the economic meltdown is the Wildwood Boat Show & Fishing Expo.

A spokesman for the Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce saids people just aren't spending and it wouldn't be fair to vendors to pay to be part of the event that in all likelihood wouldn't be successful.

The decision to scrap the show, which would have been held in April, came after other efforts to cut costs, including reducing vendor fees by 20 percent.

Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. said the boat show is a luxury event, and with money tight, luxuries are the first to go.

Organizers hope the show can return next year.

Just a vicious circle. Can't have show because nobody is spending. Nobody is spending because there is no show to spend at.  5hrug

No matter what way you look at it, it all sucks.  nosmly

Reports today said spending was up last month. Spending by the bank execs that must be.  Not to worry, Uncle Sam is going to make everything all right.  nosmly  <'((((><
