Fantasy Fest Canceled...Puts Shadow Over RWO Worlds

[Bobcat]

The City of Key West/Monroe County issued a Statement Yesterday, along with the FF Organizers ...That all Events for 2020 are canceled.

[fund razor]

Just add the word "unofficial" or "fun" and have people still come.

Saw that yesterday. Figured it puts the races in major jeopardy.

I heard they are also closing all restaurants and bars at 11:00 at night for the entire lobster season.

Just Mini- Lobster Season , which is two Days.

systematic destruction by the democrats.

Key west wont survive .
its a total tourist town .

two major draws of the year WERE fantasy fest and the worlds,boat racing .

Glad I got out in 2018 .

too bad .

[Bobcat]

People are buying into it big time...absolute panic...I of course make fun of Them...I can see this place going full Disney by this time

next Year....Pushing out the Local Work force, and Busing in 3rd Worlders to do all the yard Work and Housekeeping.

[Ratickle]

It's crazy out there.

Too bad the politicians, and their minions, won't tell anybody the practical truth.

But, I'll be surprised at this point if the boat races are a go.

[Bobcat]

LOTO might be it...Anyone have a Course Map?

The City of KW just imposed a mandatory "Mask at all Times" Policy (even in Your Car/Home/Yard)....I guess They're trying to put the Dagger in Small Business..

Look to Bail Me out of Jail Today...As I publicly told Them to F*ck off on Their Facebook Feed.


This is surely the end of Powerboat Racing in the Keys.

[Ratickle]

The most interesting part of masks being mandatory, they don't specify it needs to be a real mask.

All scientific studies have shown that cloth masks do zero good for either the wearer at all, or for others after wearing just a few minutes.

And real masks aren't much better. Approximately 10% for the wearer, and less than 20% for others after wearing a few minutes.

My key west the key west i spent 32 years in is gone .

veliz is instructed to dissolve offshore events .
pra is next on the chopping block .
a few years back a very few pra,s made a mess in mud keys ,now they have an excuse to keep them out .
the bubbas get dem money to keep them livin large ,everyone else ?
well youll see

[Ratickle]

I remember that mess, we were down there.

PRA agreed to not go to that little beach/key because of bird migration or something, and agreed to have no helicopter. Then they ignored both aspects of the agreement.

I thought they may never get to run another organized event in the Keys.
