Outdoor Retailer Show Boycott in Utah

[DirkHammergate]

Just got this email...

“Registration for Summer Market is now open. Join the rest of the outdoor industry at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO from July 23-26, 2018.”

Uh. Nope.

This is totally self inflicted and to quote a Led Zepplin classic "Nobody's Fault but MINE!"

Half a Billion Dollars -> "Peace Out Utah"

Not one single dollar went into my pocket, yet I had to put up with the crowds clogging the valley.... It doesn't hurt my feelings in the least to see them go.

6 ways to Sunday you just lost not only tax money, services upon millions and services industries. It will come out of your pocket, just like me. This is an absolute brain freeze.

I'm posting a picture of all the money I lost over this.

I'm not saying others didn't lose out big time, but personally I lost nothing and I feel no sadness in the OR show departing. I honestly wish the tourists (including the OR) would stay far away.

Some of the people that shout "Quit advertising all of Utah's cool outdoor secrets!"

are the very same people saying "Please let's do whatever it takes to keep the Outdoor Retailer Show here!".

I just got a call from the Outdoor Retailer Show asking if I would be attending and if they could help me get registered. I said nope.

They have never called me before and maybe I was registered earlier in previous years.

I wonder what their registration numbers look like since they moved to Denver?
