Final Days of 2012: Word on the Street — Dec. 24th thru Dec. 28th

Final Days of 2012

Word on the Street by Kevin Carty

It’s almost over. Another great year . . . well mostly great. 🙂

As we all prepare to ring in 2013, I am working on the Annual State of the Company letter which will be emailed in the next two weeks. To be honest, this year was positive for so many reasons that the letter is taking some time to pull together.

2013 promises to be another excellent year for the Classic Family of Companies  — fiscal cliff or no fiscal cliff. In all honesty, we are concerned like you that our government can’t get its act together. But the first half of 2013 is going to be solid regardless we project.

Jay Leno put it best: “It’s 4 a.m. for our economy and Lindsay Lohan is behind the wheel.”

All that aside, we are confident about the New Year. Much of that comes from your comments and projections. January looks to be filled with new islands, inlines, and large rental projects for the upcoming spring show schedule.

We thank you all for the business in 2012 and the new business coming in early 2013. You are our lifeblood, and we appreciate your dedication to Classic Exhibits, Exhibits NW, Classic Rentals, and ClassicMODUL.

Cheers to a positive 2013. If you are a curious about upcoming trends, please take a few minutes to review “100 Things to Watch in 2013.”

Here is a funny to enjoy as you exit 2012. Hopefully this represents a little of all of us post-holiday feasting.

Be safe and have a terrific celebration this Monday and Tuesday.
