“These results continue to show steady economic improvement and growth in our region,” he said. “We were especially pleased to see managers/owners of more than 40 new dealer partners in attendance over the weekend.”

Retailers in attendance representing more than 300 stores took advantage of special purchases, educational seminars, new product information and more than 220 vendor booths.
