Rural people have told us that their perception of this is it's a city bonspiel. The city guys get to sleep in their own beds, while the rural guys shell out all kinds of money.

agreement hopefully optimistic strong
We're optimistic that hopefully we can finalize a new agreement with them soon. It was a very strong event, and that should help.
