Outdoor Show: Without a show, region would lose $44 million

dummassery has consequences.

[poobear]

Yep, I concur jb. Most of the folks I meet from PA (with the exception of the blue cities) are scrappers. And I love their accents being a Southerner and all ;D!

[codder too]

The vendors need to "Lawyer up" and demand refund of any money paid in advance. Changes were made to their contracts which should nullify them. Class action???

The Patriot News is a leftist paper so you need to consider that when reading their stuff....

[Carriage Hill]

Whole towns, businesses, school districts and industries shut-down here for the various hunting seasons; deer, bear, fowl etc. If we could just add ‘liberals & demonrats’ to the hunting seasons, I’d arm-up with my Barrett .50/ Class III AR-10/15, and go along. LOL.

[old and tired]

One can only hope. LOL at all the obama voters in that part of the state, too. Elections have consequences.

Yeah, both of them. Not a lot of Obama voters in Hershey.

[listenhillary]

If not for the preppers gun and ammo buyers, the economy would really stink.

Reed Shows is just a part of Reed Elsevier. They are huge. Lexis-Nexis is them. All those glossy travel magazines that you see in your doctors’ office like Conde-Nast and scientific and legal publications as well. They’ll take a hit(rightfully so), but they’re far from finished. A couple of years back I did a 2 week job racking 300+ servers for their U.S. based operations.

Most of the state is red, with the exceptions of Filthydelphia, Pittsburgh, State College and (bankrupt) Harrisburg.

For your reference:



State college went red this last election. We just can't overcome the occupation voter fraud in Filthydelphia. The fix was in.

Thanks for the correction. I should know better, having once lived there.

I just hope that GIECO , Progressive, GE Capital , and COMCAST take a hit on this loss of revenue .

Progressive was the sponsor listed on the ESOS site. GEICO though is just as bad, cancelling a policy because the person is involved in weapons manufacturing.

GEICO: Gun Manufacturer Auto Policy Cancelled...

[Mike Darancette]

But I wonder why it was ever held on the east coast in the first place?

These shows are regional and the folks of PA love the outdoors just as much as Texans.

[brityank]

Reed is finished in this country.

Take another look -- Reed Elsevior is a HUGE conglomeration, and they own/control the premier Lawyer Information and Search/Research sites of Lexis/Nexis.

Harrisburg, PA, the state capitol, is in Dauphin County. In 2012 Dauphin County voted for Democrats who won all but two races, as follows:

Obama 52,4%
Casey 54.1%
Kane 54.7%
DePasquale 49.4%
McCord 53.3%
Perkinson 81.9% ***********

******* Perkinson lost the election, no thanks to Dauphin County, obviously.

and the TWO Congressional Republican (suburban outlying districts with little of Harrisburg, if any) who led in parts Dauphin County ——

Barletta 50.6%(first R to hold the seat in 3 decades)
Dent 62.9%(traditionally R)

The fact is that whether it’s Harrisburg, PA, ALbany, NY, Austin, TX or Richmond, VA, most state capitols are quite blue, regardless of the leanings of the rest of the state.

I should have been more specific, ie. Reed Exhibitions USA.
Thanks for the clarification.
