wasa,
Don't think there is one this year.
The last one was Sept 2004 and to my knowledge are held every second year.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the ball is not held any more.
Some of the constraints placed by EPA (or similar bodies) have made it an unviable event for the operator.
One could be tempetd to conclude that we are over regulated, even in these geographically remote areas. Most of us understand they are fragile environments, but this limiting factor seems over the top to many of us.................

Hi Rick
I think the main contributing factor was the increase of Public Liability Insurance premiums a couple years ago which is responsible for the demise of many great country shows and events.
Hope the insurance industry is proud of itself!!!
