It's a shame. A lot of games have been cancelled of late. We lost ours in Louisiana due to the fact that it was being bankrolled mainly by a single man who couldn't afford it after the price of natural resources went down in the market. We tried to put on a mini-games in Baton Rouge without sanctioned competition but just had some games demonstrations and entertainment--but we got rained on and moved everything inside except the games. Attendance was poor... the Scottish ancestry in Louisiana just isn't what it is elsewhere in the Americas.
It would be nice to see some of these folks get together and try to combine their efforts, but from what I've seen about adults "working together" it so rarely happens.
Another option would be to take the whole thing down a level and run Games on a "shoestring" and spend as little as possible and have it be a little more rustic.
