If memory serves me right the 2002 Clarinetfest was in Sweden the same time as the 4th of July. And next year in Kansas City, the convention will again fall during July 4. Deal with it. Things happen.

The question wasn't why, it was "where on earth", and
the answer is USA :-)

The way I look at it is people in USA have a
ClarinetFest pretty much every year. As far as I know,
you also have other clarinet events with exhibitors in
different places in the USA. So one time the Fest is
in Vancouver. Big %$#*@-----.

It seems Candadian tax laws give some problems to
Americans who want to sell things in the Fest. Last I
heard Canada has the highest life quality on average,
but I guess there must be something wrong with their
laws.... In some countries taxes are even much worse.
So big %$#*@-----.

I thought the I in initials stands for International.
One time the Fest is on some USA holiday. If I had
ClarinetFest almost every year in my country (plus
other clarinet events with performances and
exhibitors), and one time the Fest, which is produced
by an International organization, was in a different
country, I would not dare to have the arogance to
complain about it happening at the same time as a
holiday in MY country. In fact, If that happened (Fest
happened the same time as a holiday) I would not
complain about it regardless of all the above. So
again, big %$#*@-----.

This is the equivilent of a millionare losing one
cent.

Of course this is just my opinion....

Best wishes,
