Although I had a good feeling going into the day, the Outdoor Expo surpassed my expectations this year. What is there to say? Most important, there was a terrific turnout of both vendors and operators. We were able to have some really great conversations with a current customers and partners and those we look forward to working with in the future.
There were interesting and fun activities and demonstrations going on all day. The time flew by and there was always something going on somewhere. I'm not sure how you can go wrong with pork barbecue, and the lunch was delicious. My prayers were answered, and we had fantastic weather - not a cloud or raindrop in sight this year. It was actually so nice I was completely ready for my turn in the dunk tank when the time came. I had a great time taking somewhere between 10-20 (I know that is a broad range, but we all lost count) dips in the dunk tank and we raised somewhere around $82 in 40 minutes.
The raffle also seemed to do really well this year. I walked through towards the end of the day and there all the buckets seemed to have a lot of tickets. We were very happy to give away $100 cash to Vicki Bey.
All in all, I still stand by my assertion that this is one of the best events in the industry every year. See you next year!
