We were extremely proud that our Hanging Float Rack products were well received at the Pool/Spa/Patio Expos last November and January. Here are some of the comments in the "Customer Feedback" section of our web site.
On the first day of the Expo, we were interviewed by local TV station airing in two separate time slots and running twice in each. We will get a copy of the interview and add to our web site for all to view.
Our booth was also selected by the Expo organizers as an excellent example of how to organize a 10' by 10' booth.
Enjoy some of the pictures we took of the Expo floor and couldn't resist including the "Fountains at the Bellagio":

Now we must reminice how it all began. We thought we would "test market" our Hanging Float Rack® products at the McKinney, Texas, "Third Monday Trade Days" in November, 2008.
While we liked this venue as a vehicle to introduce our Hanging Float Rack® products and water floats we couldn't have picked two worse weekends. Trying to floats in November wasn't such a good idea! The second event happened to be on Hurrican IKE weekend so traffic was pretty slow. We did get a lot of attention though with our special attraction, "DUCKS, DUCKS, DUCKS". In spite of the weather, we attracted dozens of children, adults, military personnel, Grandmothers and Grandfathers. We had over 75 varieties of ducks, from Biker Ducks, to Doctor Ducks, Dentist Ducks, Patriotic Ducks, Dog and Cat Ducks, Armed Services Ducks, Pilot Ducks, Nurses Ducks, and many more. Hard to believe, but we sold over 700 ducks over that weekend!
What a way to begin!
