New York Trip

John just got back this week from Arcade, New York where he was invited to participate in a show featuring the new products that debuted at the HPBExpo this year. It was a truly quick trip. His flight left SLC at 11:15 Friday night, got the booth set up on Saturday mornig, managed a quick trip to see Niagara Falls, spent Saturday night in a little town called Hamburg, worked the show on Sunday, caught a plane out of Buffalo, NY Sunday afternoon, and he arrived back here Sunday night (Mon. a.m.) around 1:30. He's still trying to recover.

The following pictures are of the show that Empire Distributing put on back East for the retailers that didn't make it to the Reno Expo. The guys back there at Empire are awesome and John was really impressed by the quality of show they put on. There were over 100 retailers that showed up, and the folks that John was able to talk to were very excited about the Draw Collar.

There was a stage set up, and when John got up to do his presentation, he told the audience that he needed to take their photo for his Public Speaking Merit Badge to earn his Eagle...

The show was set up in Empire Distributing's gigantic warehouse.

The Draw Collar display. You can't actually see the Draw Collar on the stove because the top is lifted up. But like I said, it went well, and people were very excited about the product.

We are looking forward to a great relationship with Empire Distributing and their retailers.
