Tommy Bartlett Show to close permanently after nearly 70 years

[Wish]

That’s really sad news. It’s not traditional 3 event but it was great exposure for towable water sports. I’m sure lots of kids were inspired over the past 70 yrs to strap on a pair of skis. What a great show and what a sad loss. Wisconson Dells will never be the same ? I remember bringing my daughter there. She was floored at the raw talent having only seen 3 event skiing.

That sucks!! Ugh :'(

 

Being in the entertainment industry myself, we're potentially looking at a 2022 return to "regular" operation now, which is ridiculous.

incredibly sad news. I've skied at that site and pulled tournaments there, in addition to seeing the show a few times as a kid. Majorly bummed. :(

Bummer. Be great news if a fan, sponsor or financier stepped in and said the show must go on.

Dang I loved that show. Always took the kids to it when we were up there for a week of vacation.

That's sad, been there a few times as a kid, my parents live 80 miles from there. Great show!
