"Great Show, multitude of many Exhibitors with different offerings sales, show specials and competitive prices. Every Exhibitor I encountered was very friendly and helpful, and not to pushy to buy there products. The Exhibitors were willing to take the time to explain their product, offer sales, catalogs, online websites and business cards. Definitely will be back again next year, this was my first show as a new business owner and is a must see for anyone new or not new to business sales. "
