    You have to do what you think is best for the company, maybe later on down the road have something similar 😉

    Financial responsibility is what keeps a company going. Not events that’s don’t make financial sense. The opportunity will come back around. 👊🏻

  • Brad's avatar

    @Brad I think so. It was a heckuva time!

  • Brad's avatar

    @Brian yeah I hope so!

    I agree with Brian. A Fall Fest would be awesome if it didn't clash with so many deer huntin'😉

    @Brad you have to do what's best for you and this wonderful community you've built. Don't beat yourself up over it, we still love you and this platform you give us

    I was so looking forward to it, but reading this post I totally understand. Was looking forward to seeing ya'll again and all of the community thatd be there, some again others for the first time.
    I know this hurts you more than anyone else but you gotta do whats right for the company first.
    We all have to make those decisions that are right, especially financially, even though it might hurt in the short term.
    I know I speak for all of us when I say We understand and support you 100%.

    @David to say I'm heartbroken is an understatement. I see it as more of a family reunion than an outdoors event. Had the time of my life at the first one. Meeting everyone was something special to me.
    But if you know me I get over setbacks, disappointments and such quite easily. I'm very resilient that way.
    Would still love to come down for a weekend, or make a trip elsewhere.
    So if you find yourself in Illinois anytime, DM me. If you have the time, I'm sure we can get something together.
    Or if you're in say IL, MI, WI, KY, IN, IA, TN, I'd love to come visit.

    @David appreciate you sir. I knew you’d be crushed too. Sorry! Gotta do what needs to be done right now.

  • David's avatar

    @Brad completely understand, and its not like it'll never happen, just not this time. It'll make our next one even better!😁

    Man you should look at tacking it onto an existing event. Maybe a 3D archery shoot that's already happening and look at small but good bands and such that would just be grateful for the opportunity to play. Of course you probably already thought of this stuff lol.

    Wait till Trump is back and the country is booming again lol.

  • Brad's avatar

    @Adam we want to own the whole experience. We had it all lined up, just couldn’t swing it for now

  • Adam D's avatar

    @Brad I definitely understand that
