What a huge disappointment in H.A.N. The announcement in the L.A. Business Journal is stating that THIS RENO EVENT is moving to Long Beach for 2012. You will NEVER see me at that place, nor will any of my friends attend,some of which are Northern Calif. residents. The residents here will continue this event under a different name and make it bigger and better than it now is…The last few years have been a disappointment compared to when Dave Seville was directing it. It is a real shame to see something that flourished and grew into something known world-wide to be moved to another city that has done NOTHING to deserve a venue such as this. I hope you are proud of yourself,Bruce.

In response to various media reports ranging from Hot August Nights is leaving Reno and Sparks to Hot August Nights is closing its doors permanently Hot August Nights has released the following statement.
From Bruce Walters
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________–
As we have said from the very beginning we have had to seek additional sources of revenue to keep Hot August Nights alive and in that direction we are doing an event at South Lake Tahoe this year.
Next year and continuing through 2016 we will also be doing an event in Long Beach.
This is all being done to keep Hot August Nights financially viable.
Understandably there are some in this community who take exception to what we are doing, but the cold hard facts are simple…adopt these measures or perish.
It has always been our intention to stay the course in Reno and Sparks, providing that we can remain profitable. Everyone is suffering in this current economic climate and our escalating operating costs have forced us to look at alternative measures in an effort to sustain Hot August Nights in Reno and Sparks.
The dialogue that is ongoing over our decision to find alternative funding to sustain Hot August Nights is counter productive. Without additional financial support this event will go away…it is that simple.
Right now our full focus and energy is on the 2010 Event and that is the totality of the direction we are taking twenty four seven.
