Any other boat shows cancelled?
Just heard that the 2009 Boat Show scheduled for February here in Washington, DC has been canceled due to the economic conditions. This show has been going on annually for over 25 years and for it to pull out this year is kind of a shock.
This prompted me to post the question if you all are hearing of other shows doing the same?
ADDED NOTE: interesting answers so far and thanks to all who've posted.
Can't figure out why DC is on the opposite end of the spectrum as this area with all the Federal jobs and Fed contractors it's usually recession proof.

According to an article in the Austin Business Journal, boat dealers in Austin, TX are expecting a decent turnout at the boat show January 15 - 18 despite economic woes and cuts in boat production. "Jennifer McKinney, event manager for the show, said local dealers experienced a decline in sales in October and November, but saw a resurgence in December. She said the just-finished Houston Boat Show was successful—and that bodes well for the local show."

No Boatin I have not. The NY boat show went off and just yesterday I got an e-mail from Cabo about the Miami show. It would not surprise me if they all canceled the way things are going.
