Buyers + Exhibitors Testimonials
So pleased with the space and my corner booth. I think the enhanced directory was a great tool for buyers. I had an order even come through before the show! Will definitely participate again and again.
Amazing little show. Show management extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Great variety of exhibitors. Loved the show. We will be back.
You broke the show mold. Created a unique, open floorplan that promotes easy communication between buyers and vendors. The setting is wonderful to shop in and explore. Good food available, friendly show staff and excited vendors. Show well done!!!
I enjoyed the show. Manageable size, fresh new products and vendors close to home!
