Thats what I meant buy getting stung. Hope that makes sense.

There are always bad years with events like this. You work and plan and organize as best you can, then something totally out of your control ruins the whole thing. All you can do is learn from it and do the best at what is in your control. We had to cancel a poker rally here in Whitecourt a few years ago due to lack of snow and as the chairman for the rally I felt like a failure and sort of like we were robbed but there was nothing more we could do. Sounds like you guys had things very well organized and planned & that's all you can do as volunteers. Better luck next year.
