...LR, it IS kind of a (100+years?) long held,traditional date, and it used to be a crowded, "long" weekend thing, appropriately timed for Father's day...now it's a week-long event...I think the HUGE turnouts, for a couple of years there, was partially the economy, COMBINED with a RE-discovery & resurgence of the motorcycle as a "recreational toy"...the weather is what it is...MOVING MCWeek to a "regular summer season" date, IMO, the merchants don't NEED, or can accomodate, MCWeek'ers during that time...I think the economy has "thinned" the traffic, and the weather has been way better than the forecasts have said it should be...and...wait 15mins...it'll change anyways...
