Experience Clearwater FL 2017

Well the show is over it was great, I only attended the trade show but it was good lots of new stuff (to me) lots a good people, it was definitely well worth the time and $10.00 that included Free food, free drinks, free beer lots a good info and a free $99.00 air mover. I also bought a really nice electric sprayer, I meet Emcapmen and his team, the rep from pro Stone was very knowledgeable got a lot a good info from him and he is going to be doing a stone class at my local shop soon, the rep from the CRB company was great too, I learned that I don't need a new motor for my CRB just need to replace the bearings. The new attachments for the proteam vac are nice too specially the telescopic extension. Talking to Rick Aranda was a pleasure as usual I found out what I need to do to keep the beaker of my TM from tripping and got a spare key for my machine too. And much more
The show was better than 2 years ago at least for me I know a little more more about the industry so I feelt more comfortable talking to people.

My only complaint was parking

Hard to find a parking space and expensive

It was a great show! Larry said attendance was 30% higher this year, and I believe that was true. Our booth was busier this year than in previous years on Clearwater Beach. It was fun seeing many of our customers and old friends in the industry. The SpotzBrush's were a popular item at this show (right side against the banner).

Rick Gelinas, did you explain to the penguinos that when you send redhots, they are for snacks and NOT to be added to the solution tank?

I've been to a bunch of the shows on Clearwater Beach - there was definitely more than other years. And I heard from several other exhibitors that it was busier for them too. Frankly, we had just about given up on this show. In previous years it was too slow. But since Clearwater is in our backyard we decided to give it one last try. I'm glad we did - it was fun and busy. Our plan now is to keep supporting this one.
