I am very disappointed to hear the contest will not be happening this year. Although I am not a singer, I always enjoyed the contest. Is there anything that the fans of this contest could do to make this event still l happen this year?

Thank you very much for interest country lover. Unfortunatley we could not afford to hold the contest at the Aud this year. So we did find a new, better, much less expensice location to hold the contest at. We only needed approval from them. After a few months of waiting, the school board finally contacted us and told us we could have the new gymnasium. BUT.... with only 12 weeks left before contest time, the executive felt there wasnt the manpower or time to put the contest together on such short notice. So we have decided to not have a contest this year. With booking judges and food venues, and negotiating contracts and a new venue and sound and lighting, its just too much to take on. We do plan on holding the contest in 2007 at it's new location and once again reuniting with all of our friends.

I don't quite get it? You say you couldn't afford the Aud? Fine. You say that even after running this event for years that 12 weeks was not enough time to organize it?? Fine. You are looking for "manpower" to help run the organization, and say that you don't have enough manpower to run it this year. Not fine. Why aren't you able to get more people to help in Simcoe? How is the organization set up?? What is the problem?
