We set a schedule that we would have liked to have done failry early on, it was up around 8 I believe. Then a key employee quiet on us so we scaled back to local contests. One of the new contests has already cancelled theirs as has an older one, so if we just do the ones close to us and they don't cancel, it will be the same number as last year 6.
We have a meat sponsor that only asks that we fly his logo. We buy meat from him outside of comps, and have turned several individuals and resturants on to him. So while meat is a consideration, it is not a deciding factor for us. Gas on the other hand, that could be a determining factor.
Good question you have going here, I will be interested to see how it all shakes out.
