Memorial Day
 Steve, Shannon, Bob
  
 
 
 Attendance was down from last year, but the folks we met were serious about being there and wanted to hear about the many ways we could help grow their business. The Forum for the Future was very informative, and we met some wonderful people. It's just so nice making face to face connections with our customers! 
  
 
Memorial Day
  
 
The response to our $100.00 Best Buy gift card drawing was immense! One winner was drawn from e-mails sent to us from customers not attending the show. Four winners were drawn from customers at the show that dropped their business card in the giant fish bowl.
  
 
Memorial Day
  
 
The lucky winners were:
 
Mike in NC
Jon in MI
Charles in SC
Bill in NJ
Steve in VA 
  
 
Thanks to everyone for your participation! It was a lot of fun and we look forward to next year.

 Good news!

 We went to the table to negotiate freight rates and were able to lower them by 15% or more! We are proud to share with you that these cost savings will be passed along to our customers - after all, you're the reason we're here. Thank you for your loyalty!
