We wrapped up Winterfest 2008 last Saturday, and nearly a week later we are still getting calls thanking us for our efforts, but more importantly, asking important questions about the material that was presented and the products that were exhibited and demonstrated.

If you didn't have a chance to attend, you missed out on hearing presentations about today's economic trends, "green cleaning" protocols, cleaning for allergy sufferers, new advances in antimicrobial and promicrobial treatments, and advanced techniques for monitoring restoration jobs.

In one room, there were vendors introducing truck mounts, drying equipment, and specialty cleaning and restoration products that have never been seen anywhere previously.

One attendee was so excited about what he was seeing that he text messaged a friendly competitor and insisted that he come over right away.

That late arrival, on the insistence of his competitor/friend, was a grand prize winner!!!!!!

If you missed out on Winterfest 2008, and would like to know more about the subjects covered, check out my new blog! I am adding pictures and information to it daily as I can.

I plan to show you the exhibits & exhibitors, the speakers & share some notes on their presentations, as well as the winners of more than $12,000. worth of prizes!
