Despite utilizing our well-established avenues of communication and traditional revenue streams, including the annual Patron Program, it has become apparent to the five of us that ceasing operation of NEARfest 2011 is truly the only recourse.

OMG! This is very disconcerting news.
Seriously, I had to check that it wasn't April 1st. Were sales REALLY that off? I know the economy is poor and has kept many, who would otherwise have, from purchasing tickets, but I wouldn't have expected it to come to this.
On the bright side, this might help boost sales for this year's RoSfest.
