Mid-South Recap

摘要

Even though vendor participation at the Mid-South Forest Equipment Show, held here September 17-18, was down from 2008, visitors shrugged off a tough economy and unseasonably hot weather and showed up in strong numbers for the 14th version of the event. Show management put the total two-day attendance at just over 5,600. Show Manager Charles Burkhardt said he was not surprised at the turnout, considering strong pre-regis-tration numbers. "I was concerned about the show two months ago, but as the timedrew closer I began to feel better about it. We're pleased that it turned out so well. I believe most everybody that participated felt good about being a part of it. I want to thank all exhibitors and attendees for their participation and our staff andvolunteers for all their hard work. We look forward to the next Mid-South show in 2012."
