That's unfortunate to hear about Frost. Looks like there was budget cuts for the event

The lack of a Showcase show is a shame, but I shouldn't complain too much, I'm glad they have the event in general.

Its pretty bad not to have an indoor heated show during the cold weather around this time of the year.
