Hi Doug,
I wasn't suggesting that there wouldn't be an EveryBus 2011... I was just
reporting that there was no plan as of yet for succession.
There is definitely an appetite for an April event at Hagan-Stone, what is
needed is to develop and maintain a new interface between the park staff
and the "Herd Of Cats" that attend the event.
BusFusion wasn't the first event to survive being orphaned by its creator.
"Buses By The Falls" continues to draw international interest as a
gathering point in Niagara Falls on the weekend of the June JitterBug,
even though it last official occurred in 2002.
Happy Trails,
Greg Potts
