NO, it was cancelled

July 4/5 show has a possible date change indicating it may also be cancelled

Bill, the promoter usually goes on vacation in June, so he never has a June show. Since I work the WPB show, if I hear it’s on, I’ll post it here. But there haven’t been any shows of any kind at the Fairgrounds in 8 weeks. Just drove by there 30 minutes ago. Still no shows. The Fairgrounds gotta be hurting too. They get $28K for use of the hall on a weekend, & there’s at least 2 shows, or more per weekend. So figure a minimum of $56K per weekend they are not getting. GARY.

If you mean does he have a store that’s open during the week, the answer is yes. Right behind Lester’s Diner on SR 84 in Ft. Lauderdale. Open Tues, Wed, & Thus. GARY.

Bill did have a June 6/7 show scheduled but the City of Melbourne has not allowed a show of any kind.

I was told (rumor not confirmed) Melbourne is considering keeping the auditorium closed for the rest of 2020.

Same with the Vero (Indian River) fairgrounds although they might consider an outside show in July.
Don't look for me to be outside in July with a brief exception for cutting my lawn on a cloudy day
