EXHIBITOR 2011

Exhibitor Show 2011 — #1455

Well this past week has been filled with final show prep at Classic Exhibits and a very full plate of new business.

The booth looks great! We are very excited to see your reaction to our “Home Away from Home.”

In all the chaos of final preparations, I always find myself loving the energy . . .  albeit crazy. Somehow running around like chickens with our heads cut-off dotting “i’s” and crossing “t’s” always seems fun to me. Whether it’s making sure all the graphics are just right, the electrical plan makes sense, or setting up final appointments for breakfast and dinner. The pressure the week before the big show is great if you ask me.

As I said before the booth looks spectacular. It shows a great mix of kits and custom capabilities at Classic.

I hope you all enjoy it and enjoy your time in Las Vegas this year. Be sure to stop by booth#1455 for directions to our Customer Appreciation Reception on Tuesday and for your complimentary drink ticket.

Amidst all the craziness, we are excited to announce the birth of two new future Classic employees this week: Jacob and Harper. Jacob is the new baby boy for Bob Beuhl and his wife Carmen, and Harper is the new baby girl for Tyler Poage and his wife Erin. They were both born this past week. Strong and healthy! From me and everyone else at Classic, we would like to congratulate both couples on their new beautiful additions.

Enjoy the show this week. I’ll be with you in spirit.
