Boy that would be sad--I just posted a new board that the Fireman's convention may be done and moving to Atlantic City next year.

Firemen are contracted through 2009 2008. (Correction: dwpl.proboards44.com/index.cgi?board=today&action=display&thread=1127150193&page=1#1127179340)Will vote on 20102009 this year. I have posted previously about Irish weekend and the AOH. (Sorry, no time to search for it right now, I'm sure you could find the thread.) I don't know about the car show. This type of rumoring always circulates in September. The conventionees want to be swooned by the locals while the are conventioning. Or maybe I'm just being "Polyanna." |

I'm headed down. I look forward to this weekend all year long. I've never been to Mardi Gras but for me there's nothing like Sunday of Irish Weekend...amazing to see so many folks still partying long after the sun goes down. It's very sad knowing that this is the end.

I'm surprised about the rumored ending of the car show. It's run by the owner of the Imperial, (John?) Salerno. Whay's supposedly the reason? Last year the island was very busy that weekend.

More of the rumor: The Irish want to move some events (yes, there are some events besides swilling and hurling on Irish weekend) to the convention center. And since Wildwood (locals & politicos) has never really been crazy about "hot rod weekend" (drag racing, burning rubber and noise in the streets), they might get rid of the cars for the Irish. Just passing more rumors--don't shoot the messenger. My opinion: Wildwood better try to keep them both. Isn't this why they built the *&%$@! Convention Center?! |

Its run by the NJHRA. www.njhra.com/The Imperial 500 is the host hotel. I'm surprised about the rumored ending of the car show. It's run by the owner of the Imperial, (John?) Salerno. Whay's supposedly the reason? Last year the island was very busy that weekend. |

I beg to differ dark. Did you attend this years Hog fest??? 70k bikes and at least that much more people attending.. I have been to many Irish weekends and they were not even close.. The car show people also attract almost as many people as the Irish weeend does too..

The car show isnt necessary they have car shows all summer long. The Irish fest will never go away. It generates way too much money for North Wildwood and the crowds it attracts are incredible. Its the largest event of the year. And one hell of a party. Pour me a Guinness and a Smithwicks I will be there this weekend. Crippled look for me at the big beer tent at the Anglesea or Westy's pub. And I will even buy you a round Homer because that's what a nice guy I am. Seriously. I won't be able to make it down this year Dark, so drink an extra Guinness for me. And don't forget to find some nice lasses. |
