I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that we really enjoyed the show this weekend. I really appreciate the invitation. It was very well planned and my team enjoyed it a lot. Everyone there made us feel very welcome.
Thanks again. We are very happy with our purchases We counted 14 different new vendors that we placed orders with. There may be a few more when we move out some of our products and get room. It was well worth the money spent to travel from NC.
