Bro-in-law was working his stand again this year. Said that things overall were a bit slow, even though they did ok.
With so many big companies closing down & sacking workers, combined with the budget, etc people are just a bit wary to go spending extravagantly.

I've personally seen one jump start a GM with 6ltr turbo diesel donk. Battery was well flat before jumping. The jump battery stated it no worries.
Impressive.
