As we start the month of December it is time to get the calendar out and look at some upcoming trade shows. Next week is the Atlantic City Show. Which has had a strong rebound in the past few years. Then after the holidays we have the Eastern PA Turf Grass show in Valley Forge. This show will have a new look this year. With a big opening speaker, Philadelphia Flyers Legend Bernie Parent! There was a big effort by the board to try and get the attendance back up. They asked for input from long time vendors to see what they could improve and made some big changes.
Then the trip out west to the GIS in Sand Diego follows in February. Will be interesting to see the attendance by the East Coast contingent. Last time in Las Vegas, I was really amazed by the international flavor of the show. And a trip to warm weather and San Diego is always a good thing!
Then the New England Show to follow. Sounds like there will be good group of train riders from the Philly area on the way up to Providence in 2013....
With lots of positive news of rounds up in the Mid Atlantic USA and the golf backslide looking like it has stopped, it will be interesting to see the overall vibe of the industry.
