Seems like everyone has a take on what has happened to the Tourist Trade this season. I did a straw poll and WEATHER and the COST OF FUEL seem to be far more dastardly than the pittance for parking fees. People are far less willing to chance bad weather reports because of the huge investment to fill their gas tanks should the weather actually be as bad as the weather man predicts. I think it would be fair to BLAME THE WEATHER MAN for such poor turn out. Maybe the high cost of stuffing the kids' mouths with exorbantly expensive tube steaks and other fast food slop might also contribute to the problem. It remains a problem when you can park for a day for less than the price of a hot dog and fries. Can't remember the last time I could afford a hot dog at Sauble...I think I bought it at Marge's.
