We are not cancelling the show.
Downtown Georgetown is not in the area that was hit the hardest by the SC floods. Some businesses on Front Street experienced flooding and water damage but they are getting their shops in order and will be ready for the boat show. Sponsorships and exhibitor registrations continue to roll in and, as of today, not one exhibitor has cancelled.
Statement from Georgetown Co. Emergency Management
Flooding Update:  October 8, 2015
There has been quite a bit of confusion and misinformation following statements made by the governor earlier today. We do not currently have any evacuations recommended for the Pawleys Island or City of Georgetown areas. If you have any questions, please call our Disaster Call Center at (843) 545-3273 or visit www.facebook.com/gtcountysc for accurate and up to date information.

Visit Weekly Local Notices to Mariners (LNM): http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lnmDistrict&region=7 LNM’s are issued on Tuesday.  Last week’s LNM had no mention of the floods.  So it is more probable that Tuesday Oct. 13 issue #41-15 will have some update.  However, mariner’s transiting the ICW either north or south of Georgetown should be advised that Aids to Navigation (ATON’s) may be missing or off station, and it will probably be a while before discrepancies are reported.
