I also understand, due to flooding concerns, the show is spread out all over town this year. The 2 years I went, it was spread out, but still located in the downtown area. That may not be the case this year since downtown is directly on the river. And I agree with you, posting the winners early can be a disappointment to actually seeing the show, unless you want to go for the vendors or for something special alone.
