That is gone.

And people say....yay?
Yeah this will hurt a lot of people and businesses who are already hurting.

Stampede is probably the busiest time of year for my mom's work and I know they have pretty much been destroyed because of the Covid shutdown. My mom is in Europe right now but if/when she returns she doesn't expect there to be any jobs.

My significant others family is heavily involved with running the stampede infield suites. I don't think they have a huge reliance on that revenue every year but they employ around 250 people for approximately three weeks during that time most of which are students or young folks that really need the $2000 or $3000 salary from the Stampede.
