Quarry show: a no show

摘要

What are the reasons behind the failure of the North American Quarry Show, held July 11-13 in Syracuse, N.Y.? In case you're wondering what constitutes failure, expecting between 20,000 and 25,000 people, and only drawing an estimated 2,500 says it all, even if some of those 2,500 came to buy.The show did not fail because it was a bad idea. The Hillhead show in England is a successful working quarry show, and a successful Canadian even has also been held. The show did not fail because of Hanson America or its Jamesville Quarry, where the event was held. Hanson America is a growing, thriving, U.S. aggregates producers, and Jamesville - a former Pit & Quarry "Producer of the Year" winner - is manned by a great group of employees.
